More quotes by Brom
Peter stood, cleared his throat, and began to hum softly, then sing, slowly building up the song as his voice cleared. He found the old tune, the song of the Sunbird. And as he sung, as his rich voice echoed off the tall cliffs, the birds and the faeries lent him their voice and soon the tune drifted throughtout the garden.
Brom
That's the spirit, one part brave, three parts fool.
Brom
There is always something left to lose.
Brom
For Peter's smile is a most contagious thing.
Brom
Your dreams are your spirit, your soul, and without them you are dead.
Brom
And may God be merciful, because these twisted men will not.
Brom
Men-kind shared this world for but a blink, then, sadly, they became enlightened, found science and religion. The new world of men left little room for magic or the magical creatures of old. Earth’s first children were driven into the shadows by flame and cold iron, by man’s insatiable need of conquest.
Brom
What will happen, will happen.
Brom
Both sides so blinded by their fear and hate of each other that they couldn't see they were all fighting for the same thing.
Brom
Enough talk, Peter said, and his eyes flashed. It's time to turn you three into killers.
Brom
Did he dare trust this insane boy?
Brom
Everything comes with a price. Everything. Some things just cost more than others.
Brom
Peter glanced up at the stars and a wicked smile lit his face. Time to play, he whispered to the stars and winked. And the stars winked back, for Peter's smile is a most contagious thing.
Brom
Burn? Smite? Punish? Why is your god so intolerant? So jealous? Why must there be only one god? Why is there not room for many?
Brom
Almost lost you, he thought, surprised to find himself blinking back tears. Been through too much, me and you. We're going to finish this thing together.
Brom
And Peter laughed, and when he did, all the Devils grinned, because Peter's laugh was a most contagious thing.
Brom
Had not enough gone wrong?
Brom
But he was sick of this charade. Sick of watching people lose a little more of their humanity each day, and sick to death of seeing people tortured in the name of God. What had happened to these people?
Brom
Children like yourselves are full of magic, but the men have turned, they've lost their magic to the fear and hatred they harbor for all that they can't explain, control, or understand.
Brom
Don't let them win. Don't let them beat you. Don't let them steal your magic.
Brom
