“Calf love doesn't usually survive amputation, Your Majesty.”
“It doesn't have to be logical, it doesn't have to be love in the usual sense. It doesn't even have to be long lasting. Usually it isn't. But whatever it is, it is real and powerful while it lasts, and there's no point denying it.”
“You cannot amputate your history from your destiny, because that is redemption.”
“His Majesty doesn't even visit the privy except on the advice of the Privy Council.”
“Love doesn't go anywhere when you die, you know. The person passes on, the body withers, but love, it survives.”
“Love doesn't follow a schedule - it just shows up, usually when you least want it to.”
