Those that yield are not always weak

We are meant to taste of life ... and drink the cup of it to the dregs, bitter and sweet alike.

It is not everyday that one learns an entire militia has sworn unbeknownest to obey you

I wish sometimes that the gods would either choose better, or make their wishes clearer

That was the problem ... with trusting to the written word ... We were human, mortal and fallible. We forgot, we made errors, argued ambiguities, and twisted meanings to suit our own ends. And in doing so, mayhap we reshaped the gods themselves.

Pain obliterates everything else. In pain, there is only the eternal present.

Happiness is the highest form of wisdom.
