‘You do not understand the world. Men like to think they control it but this is nonsense. Women rule, they always have. They tell a man he is god-like. The man believes them and is in their thrall. For without them to tell him, he becomes merely a man.’
– Prasamaccus, to Laitha, Ghost King
‘A man can be a robber all his life, and yet do one good deed and be remembered in song with great affection. But a king? He can spend his life in good works, yet perpetrate one evil deed and be remembered as a tyrant.’
– Pendarric, to Uther, Ghost King
‘Arguing with women offers no reward. They are always right.‘
– Prasamaccus, to Thuro, Ghost King
