“Every time there was conquest, it brought trade, new ideas, and inventions. They made civilization evolve to new heights. Humans soar on the wings of our violent nature. There's no other way.”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“Fear is no crime. But acting from fear is. Know that you're going to lose everything one day, whether you fear to lose it or not.”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“That's the thing about hatred, it can become rancid, and it'll turn into poison if you keep it bottled too long. Hatred will eat through any container and seep into the groundwater of a soul. Revenge is never enough to expel it because it keeps bubbling up anew. What you don't realize–can't really–is that by that time, it's all you are. You don't have the hate in you. The hate is you. When that wine is consumed, you won't ever be able to rid yourself of it. Can't vomit it up or spit it out. It'd be as impossible as escaping yourself.”
― Michael J. Sullivan, Age of Swords

“The ability to kill someone doesn't make you a leader, and it doesn't make someone great. There's nothing great about dying or taking a life.”
― Adam Burch, Song of Edmon
