Der har du hvite folk i et nøtteskall, lurer på om de er lykkelige nok.
Under all lykka, ser hun sannelig ikke særlig lykkelig ut.
When you have lost hope, you have lost everything.
In these hard times, master, only the silent are wise.
Every prison is a universe for its inmates.
Walls have ears, doors have eyes
Trees have voice, beasts tell lies
Beware the rain, beware the snow
Beware the man you think you know
Lying became a need, a mania, a pleasure; so much so that if she said she had walked down the right side of a street the day before, it was almost certain that she had walked down the left.
Her life was as cold as an attic facing north; and boredom, like a silent spider, was weaving its web in the shadows, in every corner of her heart.

You can't learn from your mistakes when they kill you.
Strike down your enimy and learn.
Friends are armour.
Solitude, isolation, are painful things, and beyond human endurance.

Man is never perfect or contented.

Love, like any indulgence was craved more after the first taste.
It was one thing to ignore what you've never needed, and another to resist what you suddently did.
We can only learn so much, and live.
