"I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend."

"Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye."

"This, I thought, is power! Not to be strong of limb, hard of heart, ferocious, and daring; but kind, compassionate and soft."

"No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks."

"Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."
