On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers. -Old Seanchan saying

Care for the living. I'll weep for the dead later. - Perrin Aybara
Thus is our treaty written; thus is agreement made. Thought is the arrow of time; memory never fades. What was asked is given; the price is paid.
A man should never give promises in bed.
