In re-reading Devil May Cry I saw that there is a lot that can be learned from the words. All of Ms.Kenyon's books have those passages in them that will touch you. Here are just a few that I found inspiring. I think we can always learn a thing or two from Acheron.
All the quotes below are taken from Devil May Cry (2007)
"I can't answer a question I don't know the answer to. You can't hate to the extreme without having loved someone first. When all the hatred is shoved aside, is there any love left? I honestly don't know" - Acheron
"The first betrayal, even as severe as it was, could have been easily forgiven had your mother just apologized and meant it. Had she come to me and promised she would never hurt me again, I would have laid down my life for her. Instead, she let her pride get in the way. She was more focused on punishing me for her imagined embarassment than she was on the future we could have had together." - Acheron
"If you have any care for Sin at all, don't leave him in darkness. It's not fair to show someone the sun and then banish him from it. Even the devil may cry when he looks around hell and realizes that he's there alone." - Acheron
"When you love someone, truly love them, friend or lover, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else and you let them inside a part of yourself that only they can hurt - you literally hand them a razor and a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully into your heart and soul. And where they do strike, it's crippling - like having your heart carved out. It leaves you naked and exposed, wondering what did you do to make them want to hurt you so badly when all you did was love them. What is so wrong with you that they can't keep faith in you? That no one can love you? To have it happen once is bad enough...but to have it repeated? Who in their right mind wouldn't be terrified of that?" - Acheron
