Quote by Kyrian Lyndon

“What had those vile creatures unleashed in me? What beast had they awakened? I think I vowed to kill the beast and bury it so deep in the abyss it would never again rear its ugly head. Part of me did make this promise. The other part embraced an unfolding of life’s inextinguishable flames and the mind’s unspoken bondage. As far as reinforcing the strength of my mind’s resolve, I supposed my body was a useless entity. Rather, it was this fancy thing I lived in—a mausoleum that beckoned the living, promising gratification, refuge, solace, peace, even immortality. It wasn’t me. It wasn’t mine. I realized then, it had never belonged to me. I could control what happened to it only if people were merciful. Watching Valentin was not merciful. It was a torturous joy.”

“Pero tú, Aquiles, eres más dichoso que todos los hombres que han sido. Ninguno de los venideros será más dichoso que tú. Cuando vivías, nosotros los aqueos te honrábamos como a un dios, y ahora riges a todos los muertos. No te lamentes, pues, Aquiles, ya que así estás, a pesar de ser muerto". Así dije, y él me respondió: "No me hables de la muerte, ilustre Ulises. Preferiría ser labrador y servir por un salario a un hombre pobre que apenas pudiera mantenerse a reinar sobre los que ya no son".”
