‘I think it is a grand jest. We all worship the unknown, the unknowable. That is the essence of our lives. All we can ever know is what was, not what will be. Yet we yearn to know, to understand the mystery.‘
– Gershom, to Helikaon and Oniacus, Shield of Thunder
‘If a hero sees a child in danger of drowning, does he need to know the fate of worlds hang in the balance before leaping in and trying to rescue it?‘
– Ustarte, to Weldi, White Wolf
‘He is a man of great pride. And that pride is well founded, for he is a fair, brave and honest man. It means much to him that others see he has these qualities. For they are rare, and hard won. It is not easy to be honourable. The world is full of cunning, crafty men who have no understanding of honour or loyalty. They connive, they steal, and invariably, in the eyes of the world, they succeed. To be honest requires great effort, and continuous courage. And as for fairness, that is hardest of all.‘
– Banouin, to Connavar, Sword in the Storm
