Villainessa Tittel was a hired killer, an assassin by trade. She had enjoyed the best education and had been trained by assassins who had (until then at least) been considered the best in the business. She had turned to __leaning_ as an occupation because she really enjoyed endings more than beginnings _ and anyway, she didn__ need to know her mark__ entire pedigree or life__ story, or to have some kind of facetious moral justification just to collect her fee. Unsurprisingly, when she did read _ on those rare occasions _ her books were always dog-eared from the back.

How much a dunce that has been sent to roam, excels a dunce that has been kept at home.

I've never been a blind romantic.

I've been in silly movies and romantic movies and historic movies.

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.

Everything has been figured out, except how to live.

My heritage has been my grounding, and it has brought me peace.

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

I've never been a great one for technology.

The friendship that can cease has never been real.
