“How often must you be betrayed before you see that others are taking your kindness for weakness, your silence for an inability to speak?”
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
“They hate being unable to control you.”
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
“First off, contrary to popular belief, I'm as human as you are. One of us should probably be ashamed of that. I'm not entirely sure that it's me.”
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
“It’s a little-known fact, but Unicorns are something like 20% paint, and their horns are stolen exclusively from endangered species.”
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
“Orcs live in caves. Goblins live in shadows. It's the pain of distance versus the pain of proximity.”
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
“And sadly, fairytale kingdoms work poorly. It’s not just that they’re fairytales and thus not terribly real; we’ve seen stranger and more mythical attempts at leadership in our time. The problem is that Fairytales attract Good Faeries, and thus Bad Faeries; Evil Queens; Huntsmen, and, of course, The Grand Vizier. And all of those tend to lead to ruination.”
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
“The person who has never considered “non servium” may have a fatal weakness in the legs. Train yourself to kneel instead of think, and you will not enjoy an opponent who knows how to stand.”
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
― There and Never, Ever Back Again: Diary of a Dark Lord
“I didn’t know this was where I’d end up, and if you try to tell me that the hurt, the pain, the personal choices, and the perseverance were all just part of someone else's plan, I'll laugh at you until I can barely breathe.”
