Strong isn't about not being afraid, Caitlin. It's about facing what you're scared of.

You need me, Kane. Maybe even more than I need you.

Last warning. I don't play nice.

There's only so much temptation a vampire can take.

You upped the ante with the wrong vampire, Caitlin.

What are you most scared of, Caitlin? What I can do to you, or how I make you feel?

You breathe too fast to be convincing, ' he goaded.'You don't breathe enough to judge me.

By understanding the nuances of the world around you and how to survive the temptations, you can rule anything. Even yourself

Hounds follow those who feed them.

You want to know why you felt that way about me even though you didn't love me.

The qualities most needed are charity and tolerance, not some form of fanatical faith such as is offered to us by the various rampant isms

I learned enough Hebrew to stagger through a meaningless ceremony that I scarcely remember.

What is sad is not to be able to do today what you have done in your youth. But what is good is to remember that - when you were able - you did it to the best of your ability.

All work of man is as the swimmer's: a vast ocean threatens to devour him; if he front it not bravely, it will keep its word.

When we learn to say a deep, passionate yes to the things that really matter, then peace begins to settle onto our lives like golden sunlight sifting to a forest floor.
