"Some people just dont stop to think; theyre too busy swallowing nightmares whole."
"Accidents happen; clothing does not."
"Don’t mistake gratitude for love."
"Power can command wealth but wealth can’t always command power."
"Here is what I like to do: Pretend I know what grownups are talking about."
"You may hear the priests claim that revenge belongs to the gods and should never be the property of man. Leave it to the gods to hog the best bits of life for themselves. When you have your enemies skewered, I think it would be wasteful not to stay and watch them writhe. I would even call it impolite. I value courtesy."
"Talent is no doxy to follow only where gold jingles. Even in the poorest hovels artists can be born as often as cutpurses."
"In for a lamb, in for a ram, as the sheep-stealers say just before we hang them."
"Children, the gods call us when they choose, but not even the priests are eager to answer."
"Scratch a minstrel, find a pimp!"
"I think the pampered highborn like the fantasy of equality."
"Pigs possess a certain native intelligence and common sense by and large missing from our greater poets. When despair lays its clammy paws across their fevered porcine brows, they do not slump about composing sonnets; they take action."
