Zodiac
Quotes from the Book
The happiest people are the one who have mastered life's hardest lesson. They've learned how to let go,
A powerful man wants people to dream of him, but a leader wants people to dream of themselves.
Freedom shouldn't move like an arrow, in a singular direction. It should flow like an ocean, swallowing the whole horizon.
I've realized the future is different for each of us. For some it's fifty years, for others it's ten months, and sometimes it's just a few minutes. I don't know how long mine is, but I know how I want to spend it.
I have always found it interesting that the symbol for Justice is a set of scales; the implication being that to achieve perfect harmony, good and bad must balance each other out. Rather than eradicating one, both must exist in equal quantities.
After all, friends make for frightening foes.
In a way, my definition of home has shifted. My soul no longer feels anchored to a piece of land or a body of water. It's now tied to all the people I love, across the Zodiac.
You're young, and the young tend to take everything personally. But it's imperative that you learn to separate self from duty.
I really don't like it when you make me feel guilty for being who I am, Nish. Some stuff just doesn't come in the Cancrian package. It's not fair that you always want me to be more like you.
There can be no universal standard for justice or fairness, Lady Rho, for they are concepts that can only be defined in context; a villain is only a villain from the hero's point of view.
There is no universal right or wrong because there can be no universal judge. Existence is too complicated and nuanced for such simplicity. And that is why the bad must exist alongside the good... because to eradicate one is to eradicate both.
When you are an exile with no home, no personal agency, no living loved ones, no hope to keep you sane, no sign of an end to your despair—that is when you are truly dead.
The only way to have a just society is to remember each other. Down to the last individual, without discounting any person or population, without ignoring people we would rather not see, even those whose values we revile.

One final secret stands between Rho and the enemy. But will the devastating truth be enough to destroy her first?
