“For mankind you've made your wintry bed.A shipwreck of your own mortality”
“If you've made your own hell, then only you have the power to escape it.”
“The thing about God, she thought, is that He usually does help, but not until you've made an effort on your own.”
“To Suspect your Own Mortality is to Know the Beginning of Terror; To Learn Irrefutably that you are mortal is to Know the End of Terror.”
“As your girlfriend, you've just pissed me off. As your High Priestess, you've just insulted me. And as someone with a working brain, you've made me wonder if you've lost every bit of your sense. (Zoey Redbird)”
“Be your own master, and look at things as a man, as a human being, as a citizen, as a mortal creature.”
