The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart

Why is there ever this perverse cruelty in humankind, that makes us hurt most those we love best?

And having once chosen, never to seek to return to the crossroads of that decision-for even if one chooses wrongly, the choice cannot be unmade.

Your dreaming self seeks to tell you something your waking ears will not hear

If you thought better of me, you would not be so surprised

To recongnize that the treachery of one member of a house does not taint all born within it

Well, I was living it, but a shared dream half-lived is a hollow thing

All paths are present, always... and we can but choose among them.

Battle for the sake of honor may be a fine thing for bards to sing of, but it is no way to preserve one's homeland

The harp sounds at each passing breeze, but that does not mean the tune is masterfully played.

One must gauge one's trust carefully.

There are dark and alone times when you move forward to pursue your own journey, but the beauty in the light at the end of the tunnel is worth every sacrifice you thought you made.

Beauty lies in simplicity.

World War I was not inevitable, as many historians say. It could have been avoided, and it was a diplomatically botched negotiation.

Sin is whatever obscures the soul.

It is hard to know if what you are going to do in life is up to you, or a sum of the contribution of others, plus the circumstances you are born into.

Dance every performance as if it were your last.

I like a lot of soul, but I also put a lot of folk into what I do.

Youth might be wise; we suffer less from pains than pleasures.

I've always just been attracted to comedy.

By your stumbling, the world is perfected.
