• Mercy is the most noble act, vengeance the next. Punishment and forgiveness are for those in chains.

• True liberty is the power to be merciful toward those who cause you injury.

• Dangerous ideas are much more exciting and deadly then dangerous drugs.
  

• The bored are the breathing dead.

• Love can be the most charming of tyrants.

• Euphoria can be bought, courage cannot.
