“What use is Order without Chaos to challenge its rule? And by the same standard, what lies ahead for us if nothing opposes our ways?”
Louise Cooper, The Master

“Do you think that by saying words, or scattering salt or water or gold coins, that you will make it right again? That may ease your conscience, but it will achieve nothing else. The sickness that made this happen needs much greater healing.”
Louise Cooper, Inferno

“What makes you think that you, too, have a right to die?”
Louise Cooper, Nemesis
