Of Soup and Nihilism
"That's the sin of leadership, when one depends on underlings too much."

- Geist to Zergo

"Why take on something you clearly cannot win? It has always been the undoing of the Sith. Instead of preparing, calculating, they barge in guns blazing, thinking themselves immortal and invincible. Well, generations of failures seem to have made their point, as the current Sith are being more cautious and planning ahead."

- Geist to Zergo

"The Sith are powerful indeed, as we do not limit ourselves as the Jedi, but if we wish to win, we must crush all opposition, not to leave a trace of the Jedi. Palpatine, or rather Darth Sidious, made the mistake of leaving that responsibility to clones and a cripple. We shall not repeat that mistake."

- Geist to Zergo

"In reality, it is all in how we wish to be perceived. The Jedi believe they need to lower themselves to the level of normal people. However, we Sith know we are better than others and it is our duty to prove it."

- Geist to Zergo

"Zergo Vourin, you come to me, asking for guidance and knowledge to reach your true potential. However, to be able to reach one's potential, one must know their potential. Do you know yours? Prove it before me. Show me what shall herald the coming a Sith to be reconed with, to be honored yet feared, the holy balance of leadership."

- Geist to Zergo

"Nothing to note is sometimes good, as it won't end up in the Jedi's notes. One of the best weapons one can have in a battle is surprises. I'm not just talking about ambushing, but hiding away abilities and using them until key moments. Don't show off."

- Geist to Zergo

"You see, people think the art of battle, when making into an art of grace, means to demonstrate your full potential against an opponent. In reality, you want to not reveal all of your hand at the beginning. Reserve some for later. If they believe you are of only certain ability, they'll underestimate you. If you show your full potential, they'll calculate respectively or overestimate you. While it's good to be overestimated, it means your opponent is more cautious. They'll put more strategy and work into their battle. However, if you allow them to underestimate you, there's a good chance they'll get cocky and sloppy. You want to... dance them to your tune, a graceful orchestra, not some punk metal concert."

- Geist to Zergo

"Your body is your vessel of power, your limiter to your success. If you do not have mastery over it, it controls you. Instincts and impulsivity, like raw power, can be both a beautiful thing in the battlefield or your downfall."

- Geist to Zergo

"Know this, the Jedi can sometimes be stupid, such as opening themselves up, but don't underestimate them. That can be your undoing. It's been the undoing of the Sith for generations. Even though they limit themselves, and generally self-weaken themselves, treat them as if they are powerful. This allows you to not underestimate them. However, be warned, for if you overestimate them too much, you'll use too much power on one weakling only be to in a weakened state when encountered by another Jedi."

- Geist to Zergo

"There's a distinction between us and the Jedi. The Jedi use the Force, using as an aide to do their will. The Sith command the Force, making it do our bidding. The key is concentration. You must find your connection with the Force, so you can dominate it."

- Geist to Zergo

"Your mind is a powerful tool, and can be used as a catalyst for Force usage."

- Geist to Zergo

"Passion indeed is a mighty tool. For me, it is my passion for the arts."

- Geist to Zergo

Dark Hearts
"Just because a work of art came from one of lower rank than yourself doesn't make it 'ugly'. If there's anything 'ugly' here, it's the disgrace you're showing. Bad form is an insult to Darth Judicar and his beautiful empire."

- Geist to Telkanin

"Beauty always wins against hideousness"

- Geist

"Geist you weak fool! Makkun is already being circled by sharks and you join them as if they need additional help? You take the easy route where you think you will be safe, avoiding any danger to yourself."

- Xezgul Azool to Geist

"You can't beat your competition fairly, which would prove yourself as the better skilled alchemist, but instead have to resort to such petty tricks that only prove that your skills in alchemy are weaker."

- Geist to Azool

"Yes, it's good to weed out the weak, but weeding out people only because they're competition is foolish."

- Geist Weiss before hit by Darth Vereor

"You will do well to remember your place, Sorceror Weiss. You have just been defeated, and rather handily. Perhapz you should spend less time on making yourself a master of illusion, and more time on learning how to handle yourself in combat."

- Darth Vereor after Azool defeats Geist

Of Nobility and Sorcery
"You've tasted power? Of course you did. All Sith feel that euphoria. Even Jedi do, though their emotionless pacificism forces them to dam the feelings of euphoria away. Of course the Jedi would have nothing to offer you, as you only seek power. With that mindset, you probably have arrogance, a sin to those who don't know their place. I wonder where your place is. You probably consider everyone a pawn, but know this: not everyone will be so easily be turned into a pawn. You insult Prince Cane Es Cade, and show your ignorance, a sin greater than even arrogance. Politicians made the same mistake too, and they paid for it dearly. Constitution does not equate to power. I advise you to not see everyone as pawns, for sooner or later, someone will discover this and kill you for it."
