Planescape Torment Quotes

“The symbol – the symbol of torment – seems brittle somehow, as if it is only barely holding
itself to your skin. Unconsciously, you reach out and peel it from your arm. It gives way with a slight resistance, like pulling off a scab. As you hold the symbol, you know you can harness its power. It no longer rules you.”

― Chris Avellone, Planescape Torment: The Unofficial Torment Novel

“[Ravel’s question] was: How does one change the nature of a man? I thought hard on

changed by something as simple as love. And then she... she... I must rest now”
