“This is what love is, isn’t it? It’s not a thing for which you clear a certain space in your life. It takes over your life, and all else must be made to fit to it, or the result is endless grief or a willful numbness that results in the death of your spirit before your body.”
― Anne Rice, The Passion of Cleopatra

“Not all murder is evil...
In the right time, the right place, for the right reason --
it can be a blessing more profound than any you can imagine”
― J. Michael Straczynski, Ten Grand #7: And Then The War

“People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn't that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.”
― Terry Pratchett

“It's sad, but the world's made of sadness. if you hadn't noticed, great gray bricks of it and mortared all together with pain and obligation.”
― Christopher Buehlman, The Blacktongue Thief
