‘What I am telling you is about life. It is so easy to compromise, to tell yourself it does not matter. Or someone else will do it if you don’t. It always matters.’
– Stepney, to Bimbo Jardine, White Knight Black Swan

‘Spirit and Flesh. The spirit is immortal. It loves the Light, it worships beauty, of thought and deed. And it has Eternity to enjoy, Time to contemplate. But the Flesh is Dark. For the Flesh knows it has not long to live. Against the time of the Spirit the life of the Flesh is like a lightning flash. So it has little time to know pleasure, to taste the richness of life; lust, greed, gain. It wants to experience everything, and it cares for nothing save existence. What you felt was the surging joy of the Flesh. Nothing more. And certainly nothing to cause you self-loathing.’
– Shia, to Ekodas, Waylander II: In the Realm of the Wolf
‘Trust the Source – but keep a spare bowstring handy. That’s what my old teacher used to say.’
– Eskodas, to Druss, The First Chronicles of Druss the Legend
‘I know more about men than I would ever have wished to know. So many of you are quick to notice flaws and weaknesses in others, while being completely blind to your own faults and fears.’
– Big Red, to Kalliades, Shield of Thunder
