Zaeed Massani – Rage is a hell of an anesthetic – Mass Effect 2
Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.
~ Short excerpt of Spirits of the Dead by Edgar Allan Poe
