Galleys for your book opened with a quote from Shakespeare, “Tears water our growth.” How did you come across it? Why that quote?
I know this will come as a shock, but not everything I read on the internet is true! While this quote was attributed to Shakespeare, we did a little digging and there is no record of him ever saying or writing this, even though it’s constantly attributed to him. Although, in “As You Like It,” he does write: “Sweet are the uses of adversity. …” [The quote is now attributed to Author Unknown.]

There are darknesses in life, my child, and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, dear Mina, the light of all light.
— Professor Abraham Van Helsing, Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
The popular quote
There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights
does not appear in either the book or any movie that I can find, and this is the closest quote that I could find.
Read the movie's transcript here, or watch the scene on YouTube here.
The closest quote from the book is
There are darknesses in life, and there are lights; you are one of the lights

The quote "the darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis" is often credited to Dante Alighieri's Inferno, but that's a misnomer.
What he actually said about the "spiritually neutral" is "They are mixed in with the despised choir of angels, those not rebellious, not faithful to God, but for themselves. Heaven drove them out, to maintain its beauty, and deep Hell does not accept them, lest the evil have glory over them" and "They have no hope of death, and their darkened life is so mean that they are envious of every other fate. Earth allows no mention of them to exist: mercy and justice reject them."
Which is even more beautifully put.

I'm just a fool playing the bad guy,
and now that we are almost there
I'd like to see if we could realize
that I'm so sick,
not just impaired.

caterina's datamined character description calling her korean-italian and early lucanis designs having him look east asian . i'll just do everything myself i guess
assorted thoughts: caterina is fully 'korean' or whatever the thedas equivalent would be in this design, and clawed her way to the top of the crow food chain after years of work. their armor is something caterina forcibly incorporated to distinguish house dellamorte from the other crows, and a symbol of their status because they get it custom made or imported. of course race-equivalents do not really exist in thedas or this world but i also will never forget how gaider just implied (east) asian people don't exist in thedas because it just so happens that there are no asians on the continent of thedas (guy who forgot about boats) . explode and die. there's not the same kind of discrimination as exists irl ofc (and the dellamortes are actually treated fine, much better than a mage or elf) but a level of xenophobia against foreigners from a different continent. illario looks the least like her, and passes for being fully antivan, which changes how he is recieved by the other crows.
and sorry if the korean is bad please actually let me know if it's horribly translated i relied on google translate . if you are one of ten asian dragon age fans feel free to talk to me at any given moment.
#there's also some things in my mind about illario's ability to pass as an antivan while not really being antivan at all#so he's actually partially rivaini. and how differently he sees his family being treated whereas he gets the privilege of passing#but isn't at all 'antivan' . and while he tries to distinguish himself as being like caterina and her heir etc.#he is Aware of the difference in how he is perceived. i can really make anything about immigrants fr LOL#if you the dragon age fan reading this are korean feel free to give me constructive criticisms PLEASE.#it was all referenced off the 'joseon army' wikipedia page with some da-specific embellishments#oh plus modern styles of hanbok. ok. thats it#and other thoughts from my own background. lol#dragon age#illario dellamorte#lucanis dellamorte#caterina dellamorte#veilguard#my art#edit. slight adjustment because technically gaider has been misquoted#but its still a stupid fucking idea#you cant decide you're including india dressed up as the roman empire and say 'dorian is indian' without thinking of THE SPICE TRADE#NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE SILK ROAD AND CREATING FANTASY EQUIVALENTS ANYMORE

90% of Watership Down content you see (art, quotes, references, everything) is about the blessing of El-ahrairah and honestly I get it, that quote hits harder than anything most books have to offer
#all the world will be your enemy prince with a thousand enemies#and when they catch you they will kill you#but first they must catch you#listener digger runner with the swift warning#be cunning and full of tricks and your people will never be destroyed#watership down#i often see the 'runner with a swift warning' misquoted as 'warren'#but its warning!#because right before this encounter with frith#a swift (the bird)#warned el-ahrairah what was happening
