"Do the Gods feel so lonely?"

"I am not your little princess."

"I will answer injustice with justice."

"I will do what queens do. I will rule."

"Do not presume to teach me lessons."

"Is it so far from madness to wisdom?"

"All men must die, but we are not men."

"Tell me of a story with a happy ending."

"A crown should not sit easy on the head."

Be a Dragon.
