Eris/Quotes

On Eris:

Do not fall in love with people like me.

I will take you to museums, and parks,

and monuments,

and kiss you in every beautiful place,

So that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.

I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”

Caitlyn Siehl, Literary Sexts: A Collection of Short & Sexy Love Poems

Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!

Victor Hugo

It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill.

Emilie Autumn, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

I still own my heart, which I know because it hurts so much.

Emilie Autumn, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

Some are born mad, some achieve madness, and some have madness thrust upon 'em.

Emilie Autumn, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

Sometimes I don’t eat for days simply because I want a proper excuse to feel as empty inside as I do.

Of Karnala:

I dreamed of killing you. I think they were dreams. So weak... did you make me weak? Thinking of you. Holding myself and spilling useless buckets of salt over your... ending. (...) he should've warned me. Makes a good show of forgetting, but it's here. In me. All the time. The spark. I wanted to give you... what you deserve. And I got it. They put the spark in me and now all it does is burn.

Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

You know the games I play

And the words I say

When I want my own way

You know the lies I tell

When you've gone through hell

And I say I can't stay

You know how hard it can be

To keep believing in me

When everything and everyone

Becomes my enemy and when

There's nothing more you can do

I'm gonna blame it on you

It's not the way I want to be

I only hope that in the end you will see

It's the Opheliac in me”

Emilie Autumn

Of Ragabash:

LAW 3

CONCEAL YOUR INTENTIONS

Keep people off balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. Without a clue as to what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.

Robert Greene, 48 Laws of Power

LAW 48

ASSUME FORMLESSNESS

By taking a shape, by having a visible plan, you open yourself to attack. Instead of taking a form for your enemy to grasp, keep yourself adaptable and on the move. Accept the fact that nothing is certain and no law is fixed. The best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as water; never bet on stability or lasting order. Everything changes.
