Diplomacy is the velvet glove that cloaks the fist of power.
Robin Hobb
I told you I set no limits on my love for you. I don't. Yet I have never expected you to offer me your body. It was the whole of your heart, all for myself, that I sought. Even though I've never had a right to it. For you gave it away ere ever you saw me.
Robin Hobb
