“The horrors of the past lose their edge, and in the doing they blind us to a world careening toward a darkness beyond the bitterest speculation. It's sure to be interesting. When the onset of universal night is finally acknowledged as irreversible even the coldest cynic will be astonished at the celerity with which every rule and stricture shoring up this creaking edifice is abandoned and every aberrancy embraced. It should be quite a spectacle. However brief.”

“Είσαι άνθρωπος, φίλε μου. Και οι αναζητήσεις του μυαλού και της καρδιάς σου είναι ανθρώπινες αναζητήσεις. Χάρη σε αυτές μπορούμε να ξεχωρίσουμε το σωστό από το λάθος, την αρετή από την κακία και το φως από το σκοτάδι. Και να θυμάσαι. Όποιος δε φοβάται το θάνατο, είναι καταδικασμένος να τον συναντήσει σύντομα.”

“Alas," the Spider Queen said softly, "life needs dark leaves in the wreath. There cannot be true joy without sorrow, or real happiness without loss. They come as a pair. It is simply how it must be, if one is to live a full life. Take my own wreath, for example." She pointed at a particularly striking one made up of foliage so dark it was almost purple and black in places, but brightened with spectacular bursts of scarlet poinsettia. "I first saw the poinsettia in Mexico," she said. "The Euphorbia pulcherrima, to give it its botanical name, but it's also known as a 'Christmas star' because of its red pigment, so vibrant and bold. I would not give up my dark leaves if it meant losing the poinsettia," she said.”
