"Youâ€™re like a god from a Greek myth, Saiman. You have no empathy. You have no concept of the world beyond your ego. Wanting something gives you an automatic right to obtain it by whatever means necessary with no regard to the damage it may do. I would be careful if I were you. Friends and objects of deitiesâ€™ desires dropped like flies. In the end the gods always ended up miserable and alone." â€” Kate Daniels"
