Quotes

• “There is no greater warrior than a mother protecting her child.”
• “But perhaps that was just the way of power: no such thing as too much.”
• “It is blasphemy to separate oneself from the earth and look down on it like a god. It is more than blasphemy, it is dangerous. We can never be gods, after all—but we can become something less than human with frightening ease.”
• “It is important to appreciate beauty, even when it is evil.”
• “Immortality gets very, very boring. You'd be surprised at how interesting the small mundanities of life can seem after a few millennia.”
• “But love like that doesn’t just disappear, does it? No matter how powerful the hate, there’s always a little love left, underneath.Yes. Horrible, isn’t it?”
