Quote by Michael Grothaus

“She gives Neotnia a hard look. ‘One of the many things Haruto understood about this world is you do whatever you have to that’s best for the people you love – even if that choice hurts yourself. You should think carefully about that before you carry on trying to find him – because he may not want you to.”

“If Taravangian killed a child, he'd do it not for vengeance. Not for fury. Not for wealth or renown. But because he sincerely thought the child's death was necessary. He would call it good, then? No. He would acknowledge it as evil, would say it stains his soul. He says... that's the point of having a monarch. A man to wallow in blood, to be stained by it and destroyed by it, so that others might not suffer.”

“The CAS sent me to a therapist. He actually wasn’t half bad at first—real young, kinda cute, a bit stuck up with degrees in fancy IKEA frames all over his concrete walls and new-agey music playing. I mean, what kind of therapist has background music? Like was he going to massage my feet too? No doubt, he was making good money, though. To be honest, if he had made a move on me, I might have been okay with it.”

“Beloved sons and daughters! Let us maintain the desire for a life modeled after the Christian lifestyle. The Christian lifestyle is not always easy. It is, we know, a demanding style of living, sometimes inconvenient, and not always fashionable. But remember: it must not be judged only by what it takes away, but evaluated by what it gives. And if it is engraved on us by the law of sacrifice, that is, by the Cross, remember, or rather, experience for yourselves the paradox characteristic of the Christian way of life. It consists in an extraordinary and simultaneous fusion of braking and thrusting, of moderation and vitality, of sorrow and joy. The present life finds in this lifestyle its highest and fullest expression, as Saint Paul said: I am overjoyed in all our affliction. (Pope St Paul VI)”
