Ramblings of my character.

So I was thinking about what sort of stuff to put in the "they say" section of my character. I decided on some sort of mysterious rambling hinting at the character's lore (and my headcanon), but after a while I thought of too many things to fit, so I've decided to put them all here. (And possibly put a link to them in my in-game profile.)
So then, the ramblings of Mr. Xisuthros, gleaned from the other side of thin walls, within Honey dens, intercepted letters, and other such places:
"Seven days, seven nights, seven cities... Why is it always seven?"
"They changed my name too. You don't see me complaining."
"Word of advice: Do not accept gifts from the Masters. They are merchants by nature, and always expect reciprocation."
"I have been a zailor exactly twice. I have no desire to repeat either experience."
"Do not despair. The shepherd-king fell too, but he did not let that stop him from ascending to his desire."
"I can't return to madness. I am not welcome there."
"Even Babylon was young when the First City fell."

Maybe they have a new face every, say, couple of weeks, making everyone around intrigued. Especailly their creditors.
Also, the phrase looks like one a snuffer would use.

@Estelle: not all of us have mantlepiece items with our names on them. I think, however, that there are some people who don't know that bit of text can be edited.

I used the phrase from the lady of Shalott "I am half-sick of shadows." It's a phrase that's stuck with me, and becomes particularly meaningful the longer you are entrenched in London's mysteries.
I could be that I'm just overly fond of the poem.
