“Inside of every being there is a constant war being raged. The part that tell us to do what is right and what is decent and the part of us that is self-serving. The part that wants what it wants regardless of who is hurt getting it.”

“(Will unsheathed his sword.)What is it you do? (Stryder)Remember when you told us you’d rather be dead than married? (Val)”

“Well, well. What have we here? (Thief #1)Looks like we got some little pigeons just right for a plucking. (Thief #2)Well, well. What have we here? (Sin)Looks like a pack of fools wanting to die. (Braden)”

“It’s not easy to kill someone, Rowena. To stare at them, face to face, that moment when you both realize you’ve dealt them a mortal blow. There is something that passes between you.

(Sin)I would hold it safe and keep it from the hurt that has shriveled it. (Callie)”
