1 " I called you a fool for a reason: it would probably take an eternity before the temple stops playing with you and another eternity before you realize it. "
― Marie Montine , Mourning Grey: Part Three The Guardians Of The Temple Saga
2 " I was born into wealth, so I wouldn’t be. Anyway, the treasure I seek is not for greed. "
3 " These walls breathe with a consciousness fueled by the powers of the Empians. "
4 " The longer you live by the dark, the better you come to understand its dark nature. It takes darkness to see darkness. Maybe they are suspicious for a reason, or for no reason other than they know what the Dark has a tendency to be. Maybe their human side trusts you more than their dark side trusts him. "
5 " The war comes down to us, Cassandra, to us.”“He brought you here to remember something; he wanted to give back to you what he took. Now, leave him be, but in memory. "
6 " The gems are worth more on the island than off it. "
7 " I know you yearn for him, and for one last time you shall have him. But please, let go of him after this. "
8 " The Dark Guardian wants to become the sole Guardian of all existence, in all realms. He wants to claim dominance and bend all to his will; the darker the world and its inhabitants become, the more alive and powerful he will feel. "
9 " Raesha was of great wonder and irony; she did not need the Dark Guardian’s help to become like us. She became worse than us. I am certain that somehow the Guardian knew of this, and that was why he did not change her in the first place; why diminish something that was already so potentially dangerous; what is worse than someone being changed to darkness? Someone who on their own free will becomes darkness. "
10 " You are a difficult woman, Cassandra. I should give you back to the humans. They deserve you. "
11 " Which side are we really on? We are in the grey.”“Just for tonight,, I want to discover the way I feel when I am with you, for I both want to exceed and disappoint my expectations. For the sake of both of us, I hope it is disappointment. "
12 " The heart belonging to the man of my dreams still belongs to a woman who died decades ago. "
13 " You’re the one who said nothing is over yet, that nothing has been determined, so don’t say we can’t! We didn’t write that prophecy with our hands; we didn’t put down on paper what we will do! We have a choice! "
14 " I think the desert heat has melted the meat in your head! "
15 " I am sorry, Lharkin told them, but I cannot: I no longer have the power of the Light. To bring Spyrel back, Cila, would mean to lose my own life, as that would be the price a Night Empian would now pay. "
16 " She became uncontrollable and violent, succumbing to a greater depth of evilness than any Night Empian had ever seen. She turned on us, one by one, taking men away for her own torture and pleasure...an art she mastered well. She claimed she only wanted to keep the Night Empians in line and strengthen them. But she opened a more dangerous depth to the Night Empians psyche that not even the Dark Guardian was able to reach. "
