"The Creed of the Assassin Brotherhood teaches us that nothing is forbidden to us. Once, I thought that meant we were free to do as we would. To pursue our ideals, no matter the cost. I understand now. Not a grant of permission. The Creed is a warning." 

——Arno Dorian, reflecting on his perception of the Creed.

"...Think of me. Just as I shall think of you, until we are together again."

In the end, only we ourselves can avoid excessive attachment, and only we can decide whether the way forward should be paid too high a price.

I fear that you have lost so much already that you cannot bear to lose more.

Arnold Dorian is dead. He has been obliterated by this world, and his sins and failures have been reduced to dust. Tonight he was reborn and became the first Assassin of the Brotherhood.

"Ideas are too easy to compromise with doctrine, and dogma makes people fanatic. No power is higher than our own judgment. No supreme master is under surveillance to punish our sin.”
