“It is true, he has suffered, but if everyone who suffered became monsters, the world would be overrun with them.”
Shen Tao, The Poet Empress

“It could be the greatest nation in the world, the most magnificent empire there ever existed. But if it could not keep its own children and fed, was it really something worth fighting to save?”
Shen Tao, The Poet Empress

“I had not become so wicked in my heart that I had stopped believing people could change. If a gentle child could turn into a monster, I thought, then surely a monster could become gentle again.”
Shen Tao, The Poet Empress
