“Welcome to life as the lowest pawn in a deadly game.’ – Kizira”

“I had to wonder what sadistic pleasure and entertainment human suffering must provide to the divine game players who decided the fate of their pawns in a board game they made of life.”

“Never despise a pawn. If it succeeds in crossing the board safely, it becomes a queen - the most powerful piece in the game.”

“Welcome to the only game in town.”

“Bond believes we are his pawns. He thinks no-one observes his game. But I am No-One. I observe everything, and to play with Nemo is to play games with Destruction.”

“He hated games they made the world look too simple. Chess, in particular, had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the king lounged about doing nothing. If only the pawns would've united ... the whole board could've been a republic in about a dozen moves.”
