Caliban's Hour Quotes

“Since your father has escaped my justice, it is you who must hear my words."
"Words. You keep saying..."
"Because that was the gift your father gave to me. And the curse that ruined me as well, changed my life to wretched misery. There are hours yet before the guard comes - nay, eons. An eternity, in fact. This is my time, Miranda. Now you will have your words back: before I kill you, you will hear my tale... and you will know what you have done.”
