“There is a saying in the Sanctuary. Is aven stran." "The blessed thread," translated Kell. Hastra nodded eagerly. "Do you know what it means?" His eyes brightened as he spoke. "It's from one of the myths, the Origin of the Mgician. Magic and Man were brothers, you see, only they had nothing in common, for each's strength was the other's weakness. Ando so one day, Magic made a blessed thread, and tied itself to Man, so tightly that the thread cut into their skin... ." Here he turned his hands up, flexing is wrists to show the veins, "and from that day, they shared their best and worst, their strenght and weakness." Something fluttered in Kell's chest. "How does the story end?" he asked. "It doesn't," Hastra said. "Not even if they part?" Hastra shook his head. "There's no 'they' anymore, Master Kell. Magic gave so much to Man, and Man so much to Magic, that their edges blurred, and their threads all tangled, and now they can't be pulled apart. They're bound together, you see, life to life. Halves of a whole. If anyone tried to part them, they'd both unravel." - rhy and kell <3”

“If those underlying conditions aren't treated, the return of those symptoms may cause us so much discomfort that we'll go back to using addictive drugs or alcohol to obtain relief. That's the primary reason there is such a high rate of relapse among people who have become dependent of alcohol and addictive drugs. It has little to do with alcohol and addiction themselves and almost everything to do with the original causes that created the dependency.”

“If I were to create a word that more accurately describes alcoholism and addiction, I would say it was dependencyism. Sounds silly, doesn't it? Yet it's no sillier than the word alcoholism. The reason alcoholism no longer sounds silly to you is because you're used to hearing it, reading it, and thinking about it.”

“Such was the unhappy condition of the Roman emperors, that, whatever might be their conduct, their fate was commonly the same. A life of pleasure or virtue, of severity or mildness, of indolence or glory, alike lead to an untimely grave; and almost every reign is closed by the same disgusting repetition of treason and murder.”
