Jean de La Fontaine

Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.

Better a living beggar than a buried emperor.

Rather suffer than die is man's motto.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

The Monarch is the Big Bad to this one family of former adventurers, but we've always known there is a bureaucracy of villains that is a workman-like aspect to them.
