“How blest am I in this discovering thee!”

“Only our love hath no decay;”

“Licence my roving hands, and let them go”

I have fear of my own to drive me, and if my own fear is not strong enough to keep me from my duty, yours will only grieve me, girl. It will give me guilt and no rest, but it won't preserve my life.”

“Don’t be afraid, Queen, the blood has long run down into the earth. And on the spot where it was spilled, grapevines are growing today.”

“We are all resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.”

“Attending a funeral would leave the average person insane, if they truly believed that sooner or later they are also going to die.”

“The rule is that if they have a weapon and want to take you someplace else, it is so they can kill you slower--Peter”
