The Young Elites

It is pointless to believe what you see, if you only see what you believe.

"The world is made out of countless threads that connect all things. These threads give the world both its colour and its life."

Should I break my vow, let the dagger take from me what I took from the dagger.

"Men aren't so much more complicated than animals. I'll figure it out."

To love is to be afraid. You are frightened, deathly terrified, that something will happen to those you love. Think of the possibilities. Does your heart clench with each thought? That, my friend, is love. And love enslaves us all, for you cannot have love without fear.

A part of me is horrified at what I'm doing. But the other part of me, the part that is my father's daughter, delights in it.

Sorry, always sorry. What in the world can you buy with an apology?

Tomorrow, I will take on all these things. I will be unstoppable.

But tonight, we stay where we are, holding on, lost in the dark.
