I had only to remember that centuries before, men fell in battle for the daughter of Troy, that passions carried greater weight than decorum. It took so little to prove that human life and property are devastatingly temporary. All she had to do was lie down for a prince. They burned the city to the ground.

Intention is one of the most powerful forces there is. What you mean when you do a thing will always determine the outcome. The law creates the world.

The things I had were mine and some of them were broken, but they were real. They were so very far from nothing.

I fell headfirst into a sinkhole of pretty things, and the world inside your eyelids is just as big as the one outside.

It's strange, but seeing something broken is somehow worse when you can tell that it used to be beautiful.

People make decisions, and maybe you don't always agree, but those choices are still their own.
