Quotes

"Let's be serious here Chet, you didn't want a Childe, you wanted a Princess you could lock up in a tower. And last I checked, little birds didn't fly into my haven and braid my fucking hair for me." Lena!'s comments to Chester Black a few months after she left his accounting.

"...Besides, they (Meaning Team Fail) didn't come here for me, they came here for you." - Ted Freeman's last words before he gave his life saving Lena!'s in Twin Cities.

"My earlier question having been answered, I would remind kindred that animals are more dangerous when they are wounded." -Augustine St. Just

"Justicar Streck blinded her...but not with science...I'm guessing with a pencil." -Murray

"I was just a child standing in the desert with a butterfly net and he was the oncoming storm. Nobody can harness a tempest, I understand that now." - Lena

"We always shared that void, the burden of dead loved ones. I always thought you were better than that, stronger than me. Don't look back, keep your eyes on the horizon. I will be with the ghosts, we have nothing for you... Death is unavoidable, life must be fought for." - Part of Pinky Wheeler's last letter to Lena

"I won't say his name, saying it means he'll be remembered. He told me once I'd die alone and forgotten, but I'm still alive and he isn't. So there's that." - Lena

"I need to see a man about a horse." - Lena

"I think I prefer you like this." - Justicar Petronius

"Inspiration is the Death of Stagnation." - Lena
