Sandgorse chose his own destiny. Why should he get to choose yours, too?

You must accept your cross

Those who don't belong to any specific place can't, in fact, return anywhere.

I've even purposely looked for stories full of exactly this kind of angst, because I love the emotion behind it so much.

Don't search about happiness in a miserable way.

I feel really assured by the fact that the women I have loved I have loved for always.

What is cheaper than lust or of less value than alchemy or aphrodisiacs?

All that money stuff was so strange; all it ever meant to me was freedom from worry. I'm happier now than I've ever been but I still wish I had that money.

I just keep thinking about putting up good numbers, playing hard and winning games.

As always, I am saved by the inability of living creatures to believe anything that might cause the walls of their little mental assumptions to crumble.
