Ulciscor consumatum est
Cresci na sombra do abandono. Um dia levantei o olhar. Só então reparei no desejo de sol por detrás da penumbra. Fui à rua, deixei a cólera para os deuses e o Pelida.
Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out. For as the first wrong, it doth to offend the law; but the revenge of that wrong putteth the law out of office. Certainly, in taking revenge a man is but even with his enemy, but in passing it over he is superior, for it is a price's part to pardon. And Solomon, I am sure, saith It is the glory of a man to pass by an offence.
