“I choose to suffer so that one day I might know joy.”

“I choose to writhe in pain above an eternity of your numbness.”

“I choose to grant them freedom to be evil in hope they might be good."

“I choose to burn, I choose to struggle, I choose to know fear and misery and rage."

“I choose anything other than to rot with you and your beautiful things.”

“Even if the only sound I ever make is to die screaming…  I will break your silence.” - Xirriun Ailera
