Prince of Ruin Quotes

“Cosmic power is rarely unaccompanied by cosmic ego.”

“Throughout his extended “holy war” with his Faith, Dorian had been lanced with questions, but not about the stories. He didn’t doubt their authenticity. Reality was incredible enough to believe. What he questioned was, if God did have some level of regard for him, why not make him good enough to deserve such favors too? Dorian didn’t despise the rules. He appreciated their ordering power. His wasn’t a "non serviam," just a "non patiar," an "I will not suffer." He was worn to the bone with suffering, and when God took his sufferings away, then perhaps Dorian could feel that spur toward piety he was missing now.”
― Hannah Marie, Prince of Ruin

― Hannah Marie, Prince of Ruin

“[H]e had not been the center of attention in three days now. Still waters stagnate without someone to make waves. That had to be remedied. Might as well shoot himself if he ever became boring.”
― Hannah Marie, Prince of Ruin
