Quotes by Vajra Chandrasekera (?)

“Remember, son,” Mother-of-Glory says, compensating with pomposity for her deficits of piety or affection. “The only way to change the world is through intentional, directed violence.”
― Vajra Chandrasekera, The Saint of Bright Doors

― Vajra Chandrasekera, Rakesfall
