How lost do you have to be to let the devil lead you home?
Every time you close your eyes, you leave yourself open to darkness.
The truth is a blade, my lady. It will cut you to the bone.
Nothing like a mask to reveal somebody’s true nature.
You don’t get to judge a life you haven’t lived.
Wealth is poisonous to the soul.
Forgiveness is an act of the imagination.
Memories are a thief, stealing the truth of what you are now.
Even the best intentions can cause suffering.
Anger is the fruit of fear.
We’re never more vulnerable than when we trust somebody.
Somebody’s putting the strings in our hands and calling it fate.
