Soldiers are issued armour for their flesh and bones, but they must fashion their own for their souls. Piece by piece. - Steven Erikson

History meant nothing, because the only continuity was human stupidity.

The soul knows no greater anguish than to take a breath that begins in love and ends with grief.

We are not simple creatures. You dream that with memories will come knowledge, and from knowledge, understanding. But for every answer you find, a thousand new questions arise. All that we are has lead us to where we are, but tells us little of where we're going. Memories are a weight you can never shrug off.
