Image
Revenge is never the best driver for a battle, but a common one.
Janet Morris
Image
To take care of the world seemed, finally, a privilege rather than a burden. The Riddler had led them to life's greatest victory. They had found a home.
Janet Morris
Image
Death is a doorway, Niko, that leads to an adventure greater than any you have ever known.
Janet Morris
Image
Die never for a god, Nikodemos who should know better - not your soldiers' god, nor any other.
Janet Morris
Image
Choose life over death, Niko, when a choice can be made that puts no soul in jeopardy.
