"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." (Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future, 1886).

“When you spend so long trapped in darkness, you find that the darkness begins to stare back.”  (Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury, 2016).

speaking of sjm plagiarism (i didnt even notice those you mentioned but ugh) that one quote where feyre talks about staring into the darkness or whatever is almost exactly like the Nietzsche quote except her says abyss :/

EXACTLY!! I noticed that too

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (1886), Chapter IV. Apophthegms and Interludes, §146).

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster, on account that a bunch of monsters can turn you into a monster by biting you. Vampires, werewolves, zombies. those are the big ones, there are others

reachnotes: Bird Symbolism

(reachnotes is a parody to sparknotes, wherein I analyze things to the point of reaching)

Although I would love to see the Moriarty gang getting animated sauntering at Baker Street while Sherlock and John are oblivious due to the flock of reporters in their doorstep

especially this painting that should've been in the Louvre Museum

All love still for the interpretation of the anime version with a bird overseeing Sherlock

Which reminds us of the term bird's-eye view that means looking at an object from above or from an elevated view. 

Very fitting for William who views London as the stage for his play, and making sure the people his pulling strings with are doing everything according to his plan and in his blueprint.

And since he is viewing everything from above, the objects are small-scaled which might symbolize their inferiority in his eyes.

Which is such a juxtaposition because William has a hatred over nobles who think highly of themselves but here we have him doing the same.

Then again, human beings are multifaceted and that sometimes circumstances let us act out of the perceived notion of others, and what did Nietzsche say abut this? "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.” (Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future, 1886)      

I'm not sure if the bird is a raven or a crow, though they are of the same family,

but if we connect it with episode 6 and 7 known as the Noahtic arc, in the Bible, after the flood, Noah sent out a dove and a raven to check if the water has subside on Earth.

Ravens might symbolize messengers/message and with the raven pinning its eyes on Sherlock it signals that William is giving him the message of being the main character in his play, you can say it is prophetic as well since ravens are also attributed with prophecy.

So for this round, plus points to the anime version for the nifty use of symbolism. 💕💕💕💕💕

“"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" - Harvey Dent The Dark Night

These quotes are proof that one can go to a library and read anything from comic books to philosophy and know that what the Israeli government and army is doing is abominable.

And, Hamas, you suck too. How dare you tell the world that you are fighting for Palestine and then hide behind Palestinian people, hospitals, and schools.

Islamic states that support and cheer for Hamas, and then refuse to allow Palestinian refugees to flee and seek refuge in your countries, all because you fear the monsters you cheer for, may your god grant you the justice you deserve.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.
