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.

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.

Do you know why the leaves change colour?... Before a tree sheds a leaf it pumps it full of all the poison it can't rid itself of otherwise. That red there--that's a man's skin blotching with burst veins after an assassin spikes his last meal with roto-weed. The poison spreading through him before he dies.

I maintain a balanced view of the world, but that balance is always in my favour.

Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.

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

A strange thing — nails will hold a building together, but there's nothing better for taking a man apart.
