‘Fame is fleeting, but love and hate are eternal. I may be but a small leaf in the wind of history, but I will stand against evil wherever I find it, no matter the cost. The demon I slay will not descend upon the home of a farmer and murder his family. The bandit who falls beneath my sword will never again rape or kill or plunder. If my death saves a single soul from pain and anguish then it is a price worth paying.’
– Kysumu, to Waylander, Hero in the Shadows
‘I have discovered in my long life that there are many words and phrases which have more power than any spell of magick. The most well-known of these is, of course, I love you. But by far the most deadly is, if only.’
– Owen Odell, narration, Morningstar
‘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
‘But nothing lasts forever. Not life, not love, not dreams.’
– Finn, to Chareos, Quest for Lost Heroes
‘Love was what mattered. Love of one for one. The touching of hands, the touching of hearts. The warmth of belonging, the joy of sharing.’
– Renya, to Herself, The King Beyond the Gate
‘You cannot ask someone not to love you. It lessens love if you believe it can be controlled by mere words.’
– Shira, to Duvodas, Dark Moon
‘To love means giving, not receiving. Sharing your soul.‘
– Shadak, to Sieben, The First Chronicles of Druss the Legend
‘You can’t avoid it. No one can. We are like the seasons – we grow in spring, mature in summer, fade in the autumn and die in the winter. But it is foolish to say, “It is springtime but I will grow no flowers for they must fade.” What is life without love? Perpetual winter. Cold and snow. It’s not for you, beauty. Trust me.‘
– Senta, to Miriel, Waylander II: In the Realm of the Wolf
‘I like your sermons, priest. They are lively and thought-provoking, and they encourage people to love one another and to be kind and compassionate. Whether the Source exists or not, these are values to be cherished.‘
– Waylander, to Chardyn, Hero in the Shadows
