Marie Howe, from Magdalene: Poems; "The Teacher"

Text ID: So, I thought I had to become more than / I was, more than I'd been. / but that wasn't it. It seemed rather that / something had to go. Something had to / be let go of.

BALDUR'S GATE III ASTARION QUOTES STARTERS

Disclaimer: Feel free to change any of these in order to suit your needs if you need to!

❝ My dagger-happy friend, what troubles you? ❞

❝ I do appreciate your enthusiasm, but let's try to restrain ourselves a little. ❞

❝ Ah ah ah! We ask before we bite. ❞

❝ So, tell me what you desire. What can I do for my dearest pet? ❞

❝ Enough sitting around - let's go hurt someone. ❞

❝ By the hells. Sex, my dear. A night of passion. Not with you, just to be clear. I mean, can you imagine? Urgh. No. ❞

❝ You're welcome to try and kill me, of course, but I don't die easily these days. ❞

❝ There's a time for talking and a time for killing. This, my friend, is the latter. ❞

❝ Only when it comes to morals. I'm very, very good where it counts. ❞

❝ I have to say, you know me better than I thought. I'll have to be more mysterious in future. ❞

❝ Hundreds? Urgh, it'll take hours to kill them all. ❞

❝ I like the dark, but not when it's trying to kill me. ❞

❝ They said 'no'. You should learn the meaning of the word. ❞

❝ Come to kill me again, darling? ❞

❝ I was beginning to believe someone truly wanted me. But I shouldn't have deluded myself. ❞

❝ From the start, I was rather counting the hours until it was going to end. Midnight chimes, eh? ❞

❝ Can't get enough? I'm not surprised. ❞

❝ I'm doing this for you, too, you know. To make sure we're both safe. Forever, for good. ❞

❝ I don't hate you. Because this is not you. But whatever this is, you will get through it. And I'll be here to make sure you do. ❞

❝ Shh... Not a sound. Not if you want to keep that darling neck of yours. ❞

❝ When he says 'punished' do you think he means 'locked up' or 'brutally murdered'? ❞

❝ Be very, very quiet - I'm hunting idiots. ❞

❝ Do you always take on such terrifying foes? ❞

❝ You sound surprised - I am capable of doing the right thing from time to time. ❞

❝ Ah, you're so adorable when you're thinking what to say. ❞

❝ You're staring at me again. What do you want? ❞

❝ Oh good, puns. Because clowns aren't enough of a horror already. ❞

❝ Oh shit... I - did I do something wrong? Why? What's changed? ❞

❝ This is meant to be flattery, not poetry. Just tell me I'm beautiful and we can call it a day. ❞

❝ Now shall we go? Or do you have any other chaos you need to unleash here? ❞

❝ I realise now I've never really had anyone. Not really. Nothing that compares to you. ❞
