“Long life is a burden, when it's spent in misery.”

“Was there any fate more bitter than to get what you long for most, when it's too late?”

“As long as he had life, who deserved it so little, he would use it, wield it, and do whatever he could in its name, even if it was not, was never, enough”

“The pair of them were again in the eye of a storm of misery - their world was a storm of misery and they were caught in its center, in the deceptive stillness that had allowed them to forget, once upon a time, that all around them was a stinging whirl of hatred that would catch them - it was everywhere and everything and they'd been fools to think they could leave their small safe place and not be caught in that vortex like every other living creature in Eretz.”

“There was no more happiness. But under the misery, there was hope.That the name brimstone had given her was more than a whim.That this was not the end.”

“I know it's not easy for you, living this life, but try to remember, always try to remember, you're not the only one with troubles.”

“I was going to say the beginning is the good part, when it's all sparks and sparkles, before they are inevitably unmasked as assholes.”
