Book cover for Brimstone (Fae & Alchemy, #2)
“We believe that animals are too pure for this life. They are all ascended beings who live in the after. Everything is perfect there. No pain or misfortune or heartbreak. But sometimes, they peer beyond the veil between this life and the ...more

“Τι εζήτει η Βενετία πέμτουσα τους στόλους τούτους εις το Αιγαίον. Ότι ζητεί ο σφαγεύς παρά του θύματος, τας σάρκας αυτού ίνα κορέση την πείνα του. Διατί αι ιδιωτικαί αυταί και κεκυρωμέναι με τα σήματα του Αγίου Μάρκου επιχειρήσεις; Διατί οι τοσούτοι εργολάβοι των κατακτήσεων, των ως διαδημοπρασίας εκτελουμένων; Η Βενετία προσηγόρευευν ευατήν πολιτείαν, και είχες υιούς τυράννους. Τοις έδιδε το χρίσμα της και τους έπεμπεν ινα κατακυριεύσωσι της γης. Η γενεαλογία της πολιτικής είναι συνεχής και γνήσια κατά τους προγόνους. Η αργία εγέννησε την πενίαν. Η πενία έτεκε την πείναν. Η πείνα παρήγαγε την όρεξιν. Η όρεξις εγέννησε την αυθαιρεσίαν. Η αυθαιρεσία εγέννησε την ληστείαν. Η ληστεία εγέννησε την πολιτικήν. Ιδού η αυθεντική καταγωγή ου τέρατος τούτου. Τότε και τώρα, πάντοτε η αυτή. Τότε δια της βίας, τώρα δια του δόλου ... και δια της βίας. Πάντοτε αμετάβλητοι οι σχοινοβάται ούτοι, οι Αθίγγανοι, οι γελωτοποιοί ούτοι πίθηκοι (καλώ δε ούτω τους λεγόμενους πολιτικούς). Μαύροι χαλκείς κατασκευάζοντες δεσμά δια τους λαούς την βαθυζόφω σκοτία του αιωνίου εργαστηρίου των ...”

George R.R. Martin
“In King’s Landing, there are two sorts of people. The players and the pieces… Every man’s a piece to start with, and every maid as well. Even some who think they are players."
Petyr Baelish”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Richelle Mead
“I tried desperately to put my thoughts into the forms of prayers, but I didn't know how. If God was real, I figured He was powerful enough to know what I wanted without me actually saying the right words.”
Richelle Mead, Shadow Kiss

Lauren  Hunter
“What expression?”
“The one you have on your face right now.”
“You mean the one that says I love you so much I wish I could die for you if I could? The one that says I want to take your pain away and show you how much it’s possible to love a human being more than life itself?”
Lauren Hunter, The Coffee Shop

“You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace.”
