"I had to take a bit of a break to focus on work but I'm back to reading this and it continues to be great! I'm very amused to see that Arthurian legends were known in Spain back in the 16th century and as someone who has never read them despite their large presence in my life, I am learning a lot, haha." — Oct 05, 2024 12:42PM

Rose’s Quotes

“So it is that in our world
hopes are thwarted at every turn
and the people's lot is always pain.”

“I was pretty sure the only possible explanation would involve parallel world theory. That sounded fun!”

“The English were unpleasant in their own very English way. It was as if they lived at the top of the world, and naturally looked down on everyone else; 'looked down' in the sense that everyone was clearly beneath them so what else could they do? No spite or guilt, just... 'Why doesn't everyone else try harder?' There was a hint of warmth to their contempt that I found especially deplorable.”
― Otaro Maijo, JORGE JOESTAR [ジョージ・ジョースター]
