The ambition of men compels them to break even the most heartfelt vows.
Everything has changed, and nothing has altered. Oh, what a fate.
We are just peasants with money.
I love you for unfathomable reasons
It is far too late for bloodless hands.
There are no moral obligations in the game of empire.
Even in peace there is war.
Seconds feel like centuries when I am not in your presence.
Beware the wounded lioness, for she is a natural hunter.
