‘I have always believed that a man should think for himself. If he relies on others for his thoughts and motives, then his brain becomes an empty, useless thing.’

‘We are all fools. But I will see out this game.’

‘Never let anger, or outrage, or fear affect you. That is easy advice to give, but hard to follow. Men will bait you, they will laugh at you, they will jeer. But it is just noise. They will do anything to make you angry or emotional. But the only way you can make them suffer is to win. And to do that you must remain cool.’

‘But nothing lasts forever. Not life, not love, not dreams.’
– Finn, to Chareos, Quest for Lost Heroes
‘Fear is usually good. It stops us being reckless; it gives us caution. But Chareos says that fear is a servant who longs to be the master. And he is a terrible master who must be fought, held in thrall. You are strong. You are iron. You are proud.‘
– Kiall, to Tanaki, Quest for Lost Heroes
‘And this is your first lesson: A warrior has only one true friend. Only one man he can rely on. Himself. So he feeds his body well; he trains it; works on it. Where he lacks skill, he practises. Where he lacks knowledge he studies. But above all he must believe. He must believe in his strength of will, of purpose, of heart and soul. Do not speak badly of yourself, for the warrior that is inside you hears your words and is lessened by them. You are strong and you are brave. There is a nobility of spirit within you. Let it grow – you will do well enough.‘
