“Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations. Tyranny is a habit, it has its own organic life, it develops finally into a disease. The habit can kill and coarsen the very best man or woman to the level of a beast. Blood and power intoxicate ... the return of the human dignity, repentance and regeneration becomes almost impossible.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The House of the Dead

“The storms come and go, the waves crash overhead, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling. (Varys)”
― George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

“A nervous silence loosens tongues”
― Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Chosen
