What devious designs freedom requires. One must worry about the strength of a principle when it must compromise itself so often to survive. - Pierce Brown

How can I feel so melancholy for so terrible a past? Maybe it's just the nature of us, ever wishing for things that were and could be rather than things that are and will be.

Death isn't empty like you say it is. Emptiness is life without freedom, Darrow. Emptiness is living chained by fear, fear of loss, fear of death.I say we break those chains.Break the chains of fear and you break the chains that bind us to the Golds, to the Society. Could you imagine it?

I think, as with all things, honor is best appreciated in moderation. As is cruelty.
