‘There’s some would say what you did was foolish. They would tell you that it is better to live a long lifetime as a coward, rather than a short one as hero. They are wrong. The coward dies every day. Every time he runs away from danger, and leaves others to suffer in his place. Every time he watches an injustice and tells himself: “It is nothing to do with me.” Every time a man risks himself for another, and survives, he becomes more than he was before.‘
– Druss, to Rabalyn, White Wolf
‘I will not weep for the dead. I will hold them in my heart, and I will live my life to the full in honour of them.‘
– Odysseus, to Ganny, Shield of Thunder
‘Look around you more often: see the people as they touch and show their love. But don’t watch coldly, like an observer. Don’t hover outside life – take part in it. There are people out there waiting to love you. It is not something you should turn down lightly.‘
– Rayvan, to Decado, The King Beyond The Gate
‘There’s nothing to be frightened of, laddie. We live. We die. A wise man once told me that one day even the sun will fade, and all will be darkness. Everything dies. Death isn’t important. What counts is how you live.’
– Druss, to Rabalyn, White Wolf
