‘My old swordmaster used to talk about the Now. It is all there is. The past is a memory, the future a dream, the present a reality. All we can ever do is live in the Now, and try to ensure that our deeds are worthy.‘
– Skilgannon, to Askari, The Swords of Night and Day
‘We are going to die. Perhaps not today or tomorrow – but sometime in the future we will cease to be. It cannot be avoided, no matter how far or how fast we run.‘
– Miriac, to Tarantio, Dark Moon
‘No true man walks away when a friend needs him.‘
– Achilles, to Odysseus, Fall of Kings
