More quotes by Janet Morris
Gods have bloody hands.
Janet Morris
Reasons never matter, once Death comes cold and bold and takes the living by the hand. You count up your dead, every one.
Janet Morris
Deception is a tactic: use it. Do whatever it takes to win.
Janet Morris
Each soul has its appointed doom. How is it you dare to raise a mortal boy so high - high enough to flout the gods? Bring godhead where a man may reach out and take it? growls Enlil, and lightning splits a clear blue sky.
Janet Morris
I won't go back and live in the sea again.
Janet Morris
Gods are nothing without their worshipers they act on the affairs and the passions of men.
Janet Morris
I must decide if you deserve to die.
Janet Morris
Some nights, valor and cold purpose aren't enough.
Janet Morris
If you want to write something completely unique, you will probably fail or at best write something without redeeming value. The mind works in certain patterns: the mind organizes facts in story form it is your commonality with that body of human thought that makes a good book, not its estrangement from the common values that humans share.
Janet Morris
Why is it we are always the targets of the angry Fates? Twice as many men of ours met harm as did theirs, since we've come here.
Janet Morris
I can start the rain. Bring thunder. Bring lightning. Want to see?
Janet Morris
Men may not believe you, my son. But you must always say the truth, when the truth holds no danger for you or your loved ones.
Janet Morris
It's all the same - no good without evil, no balance...no maat. If we lose one, we lose the other. It's just life, that's all.
Janet Morris
This was what men fought for, what men died for: a chance at life, and to fight on other days - the battle of your choice, of the body, or the heart, or the soul.
Janet Morris
Death is a doorway, Niko, that leads to an adventure greater than any you have ever known.
Janet Morris
Gods colliding, ethos and mythos trying to combine. The Sacred Band caught up in a whirlwind not of any god's devising: he and Niko had wanted to save twenty-three pairs of fated Theban fighters. Now everything feels fated and fighting oversweeps its boundaries of time and place and plane.
Janet Morris
Loyalty must be forged - to him, to his: stronger than iron, from experience, from risk - it can't be bought, or taught, or promised before the fact. Allegiance must be earned so it will hold, win or lose.
Janet Morris
Bandara was not an easy place to return to: it could hide from the common worlds whose periphery it inhabited. But Bandara never had, in all its years, completely disappeared.
Janet Morris
What would the world be without him, and those like him?
Janet Morris
You three have done quite enough today: all of you and your feckless, treacherous god.
Janet Morris
