“She was the captain of her soul”

“This is [her] soul group.’
What do you mean?’
It’s a group of souls with whom she resonates closely.”

“Her soul in the balance, my heart in her hands
I made her a widow, she made me a man.”

“But when returning into herself she [the soul] reflects; then she passes into the realm of purity, and eternity, and immortality, and unchangeableness, which are her kindred, and with them she ever lives, when she is by herself and is not let or hindered; then she ceases from her erring ways, and being in communion with the unchanging is unchanging. And this state of the soul is called wisdom.”

“We are still masters of our fate.
We are still captains of our souls.”

“"Forgive my body!" she said. She put her arms out to me, the tears flowing down her cheeks. "Think of my soul!" she said. "My soul is so beautiful, it can bring you so much! It is not ugly like my flesh!"”

“Every few weeks she would shut herself up in her room, put on her scribbling suit, and fall into a vortex, as she expressed it, writing away at her novel with all her heart and soul, for till that was finished she could find no peace.”

““Alyx,” she said, “you're going to be a legend.”
“I already am, Captain,” she said.”

“There was something much greater she needed to feed her soul, and perhaps one day soon she would go…”

“She didn't know how to love, to give herself to someone, to out herself in someone else's keeping and take him into hers. She didn't trust anyone with her heart - or the darker places of her soul.”
