Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.

For the longest time I studied revenge to the exclusion of all else. I built my first torture chamber in the dark vaults of imagination.

A man can reach into anything and turn it to his cause. It's not want, or desire, just certainty. Only be assured that whatever you reach into will reach into you in turn.

You can only win the game when you understand that it is a game. Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.
