“One instant in a still light,
He saw Our Lady then,
Her dress was soft as western sky,
And she was queen most womanly–
But she was queen of men.
Over the iron forest
He saw Our Lady stand;
Her eyes were sad withouten art,
And seven swords were in her heart–
But one was in her hand”

“I was impressed. I realized that nations could never acknowledge their own wars as tragedies, but that families not only could but had to.”

“The very idea of love, of family, was beaten out of me. I was taught that love is weakness. And I… I don’t know how that will ever change.”

“In every nation, no matter what the flag or system of government, no matter which gods are worshiped or what the average income is, the sum total of tears, pain, and fear that every person must pay for his existence is a constant.”

“What sort of a life, what sort of a world was this in which I did evil when I intended only the best!
And I did evil even when I did nothing, leaving both good and evil in peace. I did evil even in speaking, because I never said what I should have said. I did evil even when I was silent, for it meant that I was living as though I didn’t exist. I did evil because I was alive and didn’t know how to live.
I was present in life by chance, and nothing I did was mine.”

“She was remembering His gaze, those deep pools of blue, crystalline in nature, peering deep into her soul. She remembered the first night she had looked into that darkness – no, into that light in his eyes – they were level and straight, kind and compassionate, without any ado, Her hands in His, offerings of comfort and concern for Her station, the concern she felt for those close to Her, each to their own heaven or hell, and the law of attraction began to build.”

“The Dark Cloud
Is a culmination of people and things that have been cruel to you
Is a war criminal that says that the stories of victims are not true
Is a table of contents that picks on people that are strong
Is a book that depresses you because its characters are wrong”

“The Dark Cloud
Is a miserable person that commits war crimes and thinks they’re cool
Is a fight that breaks out between idiots in high school
Is a battle that tries to determine who will most likely rule
Is a victim that is portrayed as stupid, weak, pathetic or a fool”
