People love to see death. It reminds them that however mean, however low, however horrible their lives become… at least they have one.

It's hard to stay calm when you're terrified, helpless, alone, at the mercy of men with no mercy at all.

A friendship between a man and a woman was what you called it when one had been pursuing the other for a long time and never gotten anywhere.

But you can't truly hate a man without loving him first, and there's always a trace of that love left over.

The wise wait for their moment, but never let it pass.

Fools boast of what they will do. Heroes do it.

It is easy to forget how much you have, when your eyes are always fixed on what you have not.
