“Man is mortal, and as the professor so rightly said mortality can come so suddenly”
“so mortals tend to see only what they can understand.”
“Mortal beauty often makes me ache, and mortal grandeur can fill me with that longing...but Paris, Paris drew me close to her heart, so I forgot myself entirely. Forgot the damned and questing preternatural thing that doted on mortal skin and mortal clothing. Paris overwhelmed, and lightened and rewarded more richly than any promise. ”
“Mortals. Everything is so black and white to you.”
“Death never comes at the right time, despite what mortals believe. Death always comes like a thief.”
“Remember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right.”
