Barbara: We just killed the guardian. What do you think we'll do to you?
Hunger demon: Then take what you must and leave.

"For, just as children tremble and fear everything in blinding darkness, so we even in daylight sometimes
dread things that are no more terrible than the imaginary dangers that cause children to quake in the dark."
[Nam vel uti pueri trepidant atque omnia caecis in tenebris metuunt, sic nos in luce timemus inter dum,
nihilo quae sunt metuenda magis quam quae pueri in tenebris pavitant finguntque futura.]
Lucretius, De natura rerum, Book II, lines 55-56.

"Or if he can but say after the Missing of it, [It was better Lost than found.]"
Sir Roger L'Estrange, Aesop's Fables, 1708, p. 147.

In the Fade Barbara killed Anders & Feynriel to steal Nightmare demon.

"He came into my house but took nothing; I had locked everything up, so he called my prudence cowardice."
Aristophanes, Plutus [This blighter’s a born nonstarter.]

"And I, always as hard as an oak, kept myself pure like the salamander in the fire, or wool in the brambles,
just so this good man would come along now and put his clean hands all over me.... I’d let them take my life
before I’d let them take my purse. Not this girl! You’d have to send someone else after me, not this miserable weakling! Tongs and hammers, mallets and chisels, not even a lion’s claws would be enough to tear it out of
my hands: first they’d have to get the soul from the very heart of my body!"
Cervantes, Don Quixote, Part II, Chapter XLV.

"People of experience maintain that it is very sensible to start from a principle. I grant them that and start
with the principle that all men are boring. Or will someone be boring enough to contradict me in this? This
principle possesses to the highest degree that power of repulsion one always requires of any negative that genuinely provides the principle of motion. Not merely is it repellent, it is infinitely forbidding; and the person
with this principle behind him must necessarily have an infinite momentum to make discoveries with."
Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or (Danish: Enten-Eller), Part I, Chapter 6 Crop rotation.

Magister Hadriana tore Fenris apart; focused in last male part previous captain still clamors a return home.

Corff: I've got a stiff drink with you name on it.

"These pots are not like other pots. Here no mother [lees] on top of pots, but pots over the mother [scum]."
Aristophanes, Plutus, line 1204 [Chremylus; the reward is a girl's night of love.]

"We see nothing, neither what harms us nor what is expedient: all our lives we rush into things, but that
does not make us hold back or step more cautiously. You can see how crazy it is to be impetuous in the dark."
Seneca, Moral Letters to Lucilius, Epistle 110, #7.

Barbara carves out Fenris' offensive lyrium bit, thinking Isabela will appreciate her fine gift of a bigger one.
