“All dreams of empire end because day breaks in the hearts of the slaves used to build it.”
“He didn't use me like an object, because a thing didn't need to be mastered. He didn't use me like a slave, because a slave didn't need to feel wanted. He used me like a woman, hungry and desperate.”
“There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.”
“Just stories? Stories can build up an empire, or strike down a people. You can spell the most powerful spell, ease a friend’s hurt, or break an enemy. Stories make you believe.”
“Building an empire...one letter in front of the other.”
“Information is the mortar that both builds and destroys empires”
