“This is where the wise man turns away. This is where the holy kneel and call on God. These are the last miles, my brothers. Don't look to me to save you. Don't think I will not spend you. Run if you have the wit. Pray if you have the soul. Stand your ground if courage is yours. But don't follow me.
Follow me, and I will break your heart.”
― Emperor of Thorns

And maybe you’ll start snuffing those little people, just like picking daisies, if they get under your feet.”

“The echo of the first shot, like the first sip of whiskey, burning...”
