You can't change the desert. You can only take the fastest course through it. Wishing it's an oasis won't make it so.

Nothing is forever...nothing lasts.

Sometimes, it is not the kings and queen who make for the most fascinating history but the shadowy souls who happen to be in the right place at the right time.

there is nothing to fear but fear itself yet even then fear shouldn't be feared because fear cannot take what is protected by change

But that's how the heart is. Stubborn and foolish.

These will be my last moments of peace. . . . From now on, my love. . . will bring nothing but chaos.

I don't think unhappiness is fated.
