Quotes
"Sometimes, a man needs to hear understanding and forgiveness from someone who has no need to do either before he can move on."
"You see...I must confess, madamoiselle, that you have been on my mind. The tantalizing taste of your lips still lingers upon my own. How did you do it? Was it poison? Dark magic? I am so very curious, madamoiselle, how such beautiful lips can be turned to such a fearsome weapon. Will you please indulge me?"
"Ma chere, if there is anything I absolutely refuse to be, it is boring; even unconscious, I've no doubt I could hold your interest, if merely to see how long it would take before my breath vanished in my throat."
"You have the same power everyone else does, monsieur. To keep your eyes and ears open; to look, to listen, and to think for yourself."
"There is something in this universe that I would sacrifice a world for, monsieur Mercade Alexander. I do not hope, nor do I expect, that it will ever come to that, but one day, you and I may be enemies. But I suspect that you too have something you value so highly that you would sacrifice a world for it, too. It is a very easy thing to say that you would not in our situation, that you would never...but we cannot ever truly be sure of who we are in the dark until the lights go out."
"But regrets are chains; they blind us to the world as it is, to the world as we must see it."
"That is because the illusions I live inside are crafted to fool others, not myself. I know the truth from the illusion quite well; I am its architect. The lies you are holding are lies of your own making, but they exist to fool you and you alone."
"I can only imagine that their idea of breaking into an establishment involves driving an automobile through the wall or somesuch other nonsense."
"Please forgive me for not standing, monsieur et madamoiselle; your chair is quite comfortable, you see, and I would be loathe to leave it and shuffle about in such a small office, oui?"
"I should certainly hope that I have made an impression on people, monsieur Alexander; impressions are priceless in addition to being free."
"A pretty girl should never have to cry; beautiful girls look their best when they smile, oui?"
"There are no foolish questions, petite; even the simplest of things is new to someone."
"Ah, but to you, it is a meaningless trinket, at least for now. It may be one of the most powerful objects in all the universe, and I suspect that it surely is...but compared to a friend, what object can possibly hold significance?"
"You assume too much of me, monsieur, to think I will not understand, or that you are somehow so special that your world cannot be broken down and analyzed like every other."
"Something about the unapproachable beauty makes it all the more appealing."
"I think that any philosophy is closed-minded, monsieur, if one is certain about anything in it; the only thing in life that is absolutely certain is death, after all."
"No matter how appealing the thought of you chasing me all across the worlds may be, I think it may impede my ability to work...and I am not so cold as to start a war for nothing but personal gain."
"If this Magicite allows me to survive until that is completed, then no force in all the worlds will stop me."
"If you were ordinary - someone who could not match me - I would not care in the slightest how beautiful you are."
"What a terrible burden, for a whole country to rest on your shoulders. Does it hurt, to bear so much for so many?"
"...because I look at you and I see someone as lonely as I am."
"It is the moment when all eyes are on her, when she knows that she above all others is the most special beauty, the rarest flower, that a woman's truest beauty comes forth."
"I tried to break free of the image of her face. She told me she did not understand how I could ever be attracted to her in the first place. So now I am telling her in exquisite detail, running the metaphorical knife of hope along my face as I hope like a juvenile schoolboy that perhaps this time she will actually understand, even though I know - I know, without a doubt, that she will not."
"I keep making the same mistakes, over and over and over...Dieu par-dessus, et le diable ci-dessous! It infuriates me!"
"But a crack in my resolve is still noticeable to one who wears his resolve as porcelain."
"If I walk down the pathway to Darkness, if I become a man who is willing to sacrifice all the worlds that sit in the sky, I will do it because I chose to do so, not because of the lies and false promises of demons and nightmares."
"I am a dangerous man. God forbid I become a dangerous man under the control of another."
"You know so very little about me, ma belle, and that is just the way I like it."
"It is a gentleman's duty to help a lady in distress, non?"
"I WILL NOT DIE BEFORE SYLVIE IS FREE! EVEN IF I MUST USE THE SHADOWS THEMSELVES TO SURVIVE!"
"Everything can be forgiven. Everything can be paid for, in the end, no matter how terrible the crime, if you are willing to work for that redemption. It does not come easily; it does not come swiftly. But it comes to all who seek it, in the end, if their hearts are earnest."
"...and it is about time that I accept that /this/ is my relationship, and stop chasing a fantasy and accept that I love you."
"I want to be able to trust, ma chere."
"Everyone, ma chere, is weak in their own ways. I do not think wanting to be stronger is something to be ashamed of, and I do not think any less of you for it."
"I love you. I love her, too. I am only slowly beginning to understand that hearts are complicated things, and that this is not something to be guilty about."
"Just know that you are very important to me, and when you are ready to let me into your heart, I will treat it as delicately as I do all my treasures."
