“Quiet! My wife!'
'Is she sleeping?'
'Sleeping? She never sleeps! No, you fool, she hunts!'
'Hunts? What does she hunt?'
'Not what. Who. She hunts for me, of course. But has she found me? No! We've not seen each other for months! Hee he! It's a perfect marriage. I've never been happier. You should try it.”
― Steven Erikson, House of Chains

“Compassion existed when and only when one could step outside oneself, to suddenly see the bars from inside the cage.”
― Steven Erikson, The Bonehunters

“Do not flee us. Do not flee this moment, this scene. Do not confuse dislike and abhorrence with angry denial of truths you do not wish to see. I accept your horror and expect no forgiveness. But if you deny, I name you coward. And I have had my fill of cowards.”
― Steven Erikson, The Crippled God

“LUCIFER: I pity thee who lovest what must perish.
CAIN: And I thee who lov'st nothing”
― Lord Byron, Cain A Mystery
