    “Studies show:
    Intelligent girls are more depressed
    Because they know
    What the world is really like
    Don't think for a beat it makes it better
    When you sit her down and tell her
    Everything gonna be all right
    She knows in society she either is
    A devil or an angel with no in between
    She speaks in the third person
    So she can forget that she's me”

    “Perfume was first created to mask the stench of foul and offensive odors...
    Spices and bold flavorings were created to mask the taste of putrid and rotting meat...

    Was it to drown out the voices of others, or the voices within ourselves?
    I think I know.”
    Emilie Autumn, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

    Mark  Lawrence
    “Your death has not been waiting for your arrival at the appointed hour: it has, for all the years of your life, been racing towards you with the fierce velocity of time's arrow.

Or burn bright, take up arms, and fight the bitch.”

    Mark  Lawrence
    “Memories are dangerous things. You turn them over and over, until you know every touch and corner, but still you’ll find an edge to cut you.” I looked into my own darkness. I knew what it was to be trapped, and to watch ruination. “Each day the memories weigh a little heavier. Each day they drag you down that bit further. You wind them around you, a single thread at a time, and you weave your own shroud, you build a cocoon, and in it madness grows.” The lights pulsed beneath my fingers, ebbing and flowing to the beat of my voice. “You sit here with your yesterdays queuing at your shoulder. You listen to their reproach and curse those that gave you life.”
    Mark Lawrence, Prince of Thorns

    Mark  Lawrence
    “Words are steps along a path: the important thing is to get where you're going. You can play by all manner of rules, ... but you'll get there quicker if you pick the most certain route. Lies are complex things. Best not to bother thinking in terms of truth or lie-let necessity be your mother ... and invent!”
    Mark Lawrence, Red Sister
