It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one. Fortune bestows the one, merit obtains the other. - Petrarch

böyle kaçarım ölümün vuruşlarından;
ama hızlı değil kaçışım, arzumun benimle gelemeyeceği kadar,
hep geldiği gibi sessiz yürürüm,
yoksa ölü sözler ağlatır insanları,
oysa ben yalnız aksın isterim gözyaşlarım.

For everything I've suffered, all for love, and will still suffer till she heals my heart, that one who wounded him, a rebel to all mercy, who still can make him yearn, there shall be vengeance; that's if pride and anger don't act to lock humility from showing that lovely way that leads to her.

Sweet is the death that taketh end by love.
