ἄμεινον γὰρ ὀλίγον ὀρθῶς ἢ πολὺν κακῶς πρᾶξαι χρόνον. - Julian

O black winter of savage death
that froze the spring of your unnumbered charms.
The tomb tore you from brilliant day
in this, your bitter sixteenth year.
Your husband and father — blind with grief — Think of you, Anastasia, who were our sun.

For it is only fair that words should follow on deeds, and that he who has never avoided deeds should not avoid the phrases that describe them.
- Letters of Julian, To Niles

If one were to rob human beings of the power to do and say what they please, that would be to take away, and to curtail the first principle of independence.
