"When a gentleman is long kept in suspense, penitence may break his spirit ever after. Besides, certainty gives a man a good air upon his trial." 
John Gay, The Beggar's Opera, Act I, Scene 1, 1728 [Filch: And makes him risk another without fear or scruple.] 

"She was glad to see him at any time, but at this moment she was especially glad he should see her in all her glory. No one was better 
able to appreciate her grandeur.... Seeing her, he found himself face to face with one of the pictures of his daydream of the family life."
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, Part III, Chapter 9, 1878.

"Mr. Cecil Graham:— A married woman, then!  Well, there's nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. 
It's a thing no married man knows anything about."
Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan: A Play about a Good Woman, 1892 [This woman has purity and innocence. She has everything.]

"Peachum:— But, as the Wench is very active and industrious, you may satisfy her that I'll soften the Evidence."
John Gay, The Beggar's Opera, Act I, Scene 1, 1728 [And let my Friends know what I intend; for I love to make them easy one way or other.]

"Life is as the current spark on the miner's wheel of flints : Whiles it spinneth there is light ; stop it, all is darkness : 
Life is as a morsel of frankincense burning in the hall of Eternity ; It is gone, but its odorous cloud curleth to the lofty roof ! 
Life is as a lump of salt, melting in the temple-laver ; It is gone,—yet its savour reacheth to the farthest atom ; 
Even so, for evil or for good, is life the criterion of a man, For its memories of sanctity or sin pervade all the firmament of being, 
There is but the flitting moment wherein to hope or to enjoy, But in the calendar of memory, that moment is all time."
Martin Farquhar Tupper, "Of Memory", Tupper's Proverbial philosophy: A Book of Thoughts and Arguments, 1838, p. 28.

Fenris kills Kelder & Cadyna made own fortune. She caught intent & consequence: lyrium fisting brings Fenris ever closer to be Danarius.

"Maintaining cheerfulness in the midst of a gloomy task, fraught with immeasurable responsibility, is no small feat; and yet what is 
needed more than cheerfulness? Nothing succeeds if prankishness has no part in it. Excess strength alone is the proof of strength."
[Inmitten einer düstern und über die Maßen verantwortlichen Sache seine Heiterkeit aufrechterhalten ist nichts Kleines von Kunststück: 
und doch, was wäre nötiger als Heiterkeit? Kein Ding gerät, an dem nicht der Übermut seinen Teil hat. 
Das Zuviel von Kraft erst ist der Beweis der Kraft.]
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, or, How to Philosophize with a Hammer, 1888 [So long as life ascends, happiness equals instinct.]

To say a bold word, Isabela & Cadyna will take charge of training up more young fellows to their business, than Varric at the gaming table.
