“You're late,' he said.
'I'm beautiful.'
'You're always beautiful.'
'I'm always late too.”
― Derek Landy, Death Bringer

“The fool says 'I never intended to kill. I meant only to wound.' But I tell you that if you prick a finger with a poisoned thorn you may not claim innocence when the heart dies. Do not plant a weed and pretend surprise when it grows to strangle your garden. For, I tell you that hate is to kill, for from hatred grows death as surely as life grows from love. Therefore do not nurture hatred, but love, even for those who hate you in return. Hatred wins many battles, and yet love will triumph.”
― Michael Grant, Messenger of Fear

“Why do people do evil things?
Messenger's answer stunned me, "Why did you?”
― Michael Grant
