“His life was cheap to him. Perhaps that's why he rode faster than any other, perhaps that was why he had walked into the house of Aquila without the quickening of a heartbeat: because at the heart of his courage was the fact that he really did not care if he died.

Ricardo Bruni did not know this yet, but he was to learn it soon.”
― Marina Fiorato, The Daughter of Siena

“There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people: psychopaths and mystery writers.”

“Make me immortal with a kiss.”
― Christopher Marlowe, Doctor Faustus and Other Plays
