“When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment.

Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia.

Forever yours,
Ezio Auditore.”
― Ezio Auditore da Firenze

“مازلتُ أعرف أن الشوق معصيتي..
والعشق والله ذنب لستُ أخفيه..
قلبي الذي لم يزل طفلاً يعاتبني..
كيف انقضى العيد.. وانقضت لياليه..
يا فرحة لم تزل كالطيف تُسكرني..
كيف انتهى الحلم بالأحزان والتيه..
حتى إذا ما انقضى كالعيد سامرنا..
عدنا إلى الحزن يدمينا.. ونُدميه..”

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
