Empire of the Vampire (Empire of the Vampire, #1)

by Jay Kristoff

Because if the Almighty is willing to put an end to all this wickedness, but somehow unable to do so, then he’s not as almighty as the priests would have you believe.

If he’s both willing and able to put paid to it all, how can this evil exist in the first place? And if he’s neither willing nor able to lay it to rest, then he’s no god at all.

there’s a difference between those who swim with the flood and those who drown fighting it. And its name is Wisdom.

“There’s no sin so dangerous as the sin that is chosen. “No sin so glorious as the sin that is shared.

What I can tell you is that the only heaven I’ve found in all this hell was in the people I loved. Friends. Famille. So, you need to keep on thinking the best of folk, despite seeing the worst of us.
