Quotes
| Why, I have no idea, my lady. That is why the Isle is such a wonderous paradise. Who knows what lies behind each door? Perhaps some beautuful work of art, ripe for the taking. Perhaps a fair maiden with a voice as sweet as honeyed wine. Perhaps a stern warrior, guarding a secret beyond imaaging. One can never know.
~ Jacques vil Granciere to Shevanya Arclis .[1a] |
Death is merely a state of mind. Here, I am no longer subject to the ravages of time, nor the tiresome laws of so called civilised folk. I gifted the gods with secrets untold, and this is my reward. A life of endless adventure, with all the wine and song one could wish for.
~ Jacques vil Granciere.[1a] |
