1 " Now it was over, done; he was at last free. Yet with freedom came fear, a vague, whispering thing that haunted him now. Never in his life had you been without a goal, and now that he was suddenly the future was dark its features and perceivable. A vast void beyond wide before him. "
― , The Bane of Lord Caladon
2 " Are you surprised that your desires can be turned to evil uses?" He asked. "You shouldn't be. I know mine can. Such might be said of anyone. It doesn't make you any less trustworthy or true, nor does it lower my estimation of you. Do not be deceived into thinking that you would have acted in the manner that you did without the inducements of the Dylcaer; you would not have. "
3 " I do not think that all men truly desire freedom. Some are terrified of it; they want someone to tell them what to do, what not to do, what is permissible - to place tolerable borders on their lives. Some even want to be told what to think, for it saves them the trouble of having to do it for themselves. There is a little of this mentality in most of us, I think. Partly it is simple laziness, but mainly it is because to be absolutely free is to leave yourself exposed to all the wild, sometime contradictory mysteries of the world. Limits are needed to reduce the confusion. "
4 " You would do well to consider this: all men may be brought to evil by what they hold most important, although few are ever made to realize this. For you, however, this truth will henceforth be inescapable, and will ever be a burden. Yet, as with all knowledge, it may also be a source of strength. Face it, use it, and it will make you far greater than any of those who remain in happy ignorance. "
