“Life was brutal and it made victims of everyone.’ (Nykyrian)”

“Inside us all are pieces of that which makes the neagitve. Demons are neither good nor bad. Like you, they have many facets. It is that inner essence, or drive, if you will, that we all have that guides us through our lives. Sometimes those voices that drive us are whispered memories that live deep inside and cause us such pain that we have no choice except to let it out and to hurt those around us. But at other times, the voice is love and compassion, and it guides us to a gentler place. In the end, we, alone, must choose what path to walk. No one can help us with it. (Menyara)”

“We all make mistakes, Steele. It’s what we do afterward that defines us more than the actual incident that led to the mistake. (Joe)”

“But to be honest, there is only so much battle a man can take. I think all of us crave a quieter life with a tender touch. (Sparhawk)”

“Here you’re just a person…one with a life force that can feed us all. (Misery)Baby, I’m not worth the indigestion. Trust me. (Fang)”
