‘A man cannot be good at everything.‘
– Druss, to Rabalyn, White Wolf
‘It is not a crime to be frightened. I am frightened. Diagoras is frightened. Anyone with any intelligence would be frightened. Fear is necessary. It is there to keep us alive; to warn us to avoid danger.’
– Skilgannon, to Rabalyn, White Wolf
‘We none of us live for ever. Better by far, then, to live well.‘
– Druss, to Rabalyn, White Wolf
‘There is no more futile phrase than if only. If only we could go back and live our lives again. If only we hadn’t said the unkind words. If only we had turned left instead of right. If only is useless. We make our mistakes and we move on.‘

‘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
‘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.’
