1 " Sidonie, I know you don't remember it, but you once promised to trust me beyond all reason. And I swear to you that all that I am, all that I possess, including this gem-stone, is yours. I need you. I can't do this alone. Forget your memories. Look into your heart. And if you can find somewhere there, some lingering spark of trust that owes naught to reason, I beg you to speak the word written here. "
― Jacqueline Carey , Kushiel's Mercy (Imriel's Trilogy, #3)

If that is wisdom, let us be content. "
