Assist Me Quotes & Sayings

All, save I, were at rest or in enjoyment; I, like the archfiend, bore a hell within me, and finding myself unsympathised with, wished to tear up the trees, spread havoc and destruction around me, and then to have sat down and enjoy the ruin.

Eve, we're here. Shall I carry you?" She sat up slowly, her hand going to her forehead. "I can walk."
