“You never escape the traps you spin yourself. Only a greater power can break a power, and then you're trapped again. Trapped forever so you cannot die.”

“All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be.”

“You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say. That way, you'll never have to fear an unanticipated blow.”

“Trapped in life, only escape I know is death.”
