“I am not made for despair”

“I believe the test of government is the contentment of the people.”

“It's like a spell. It's so strong I can't fight it. Is love always like this?”

“Shame, however, was what I felt seeping through me as though it stained my white bones black.”

“..while I was happy enough to pray to any god, knowing that they were simply different faces created by men, of one indivisible truth.”

“It's what you do to yourself when you go mad with rage. You have no idea how much you can hurt yourself with your own strength.”

“When illusions are shattered by truth, talent is set free.”
