Darren Shan
“I don't like it, but my hands are tied. I just want you to know this: if I ever get the chance to betray you, I will. If the opportunity arises to pay you back, I'll take it. You'll never be able to trust me.”
Darren Shan, Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare

Niccolò Machiavelli
“People should either be caressed or crushed. If you do them minor damage they will get their revenge; but if you cripple them there is nothing they can do. If you need to injure someone, do it in such a way that you do not have to fear their vengeance.”
Niccolo Machiavelli

“Come sleep with me: We won't make Love, Love will make us.”
