Marquis de Sade
“Franval, who was now absolutely at ease, thought on,y of upsetting others; he behaved in his vindictive, unruly, impetuous way when he was disturbed; he desired his own tranquility again at any price, and in order to obtain it he clumsily adopted the only means most likely to make him lose it once again. If he obtained it he used all his moral and physical facilities only to do harm to others; he was therefore always in a state of agitation, he had either to anticipate the wiles which he forced others to employ against him, or else he had to use them against others.”
Marquis de Sade, Gothic Tales of the Marquis de Sade

St. Mark the Ascetic

But you live long enough, you look into the mundane murk of people's souls often enough, you see Danton didn't really become anything. He'd just had the shackles of consequence removed. Give someone the power to do anything they want, and they'll do exactly that. That's the horrifying part - the only thing holding some folk back from the worst atrocities they can imagine is the fear they might not get away with it.”
Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Vampire

“Whisper Children are actually more powerful than any evil, Wonder,” her grandfather answered, smiling. “And we have Time on our side; we always know when the Tairharts are entering a dangerous period because those periods only occur when our Time is moving faster than the humans' Time. The rest of your training is going to consist of your observing a Ripple of Discontent being formed and the creation of a Tairhart, followed by the consequences of shards of broken hearts piercing other hearts. It will be painful for you to watch, but you must first observe the true nature of the Tairharts in order to prepare yourselves to defend the humans. Do you feel you're ready?”
