“You’ll love it here when you get used to the dark. And you’ll love the dark, too. It’s friendly and peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. It’s right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it. Then it’s all beauty. And life here is like a resurrection.”
“I only want to die. That’s why I’m here. If I ever find peace I’ll find it here.”
“The moon rides high in the sky again, Kharis; there’s death in the night air. Your work begins.”
“People who live in transparent bodies shouldn’t be so suspicious.”
“Better death… than a life like this.”
“Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.”
