More quotes by Janet Morris
Die never for a god, Nikodemos who should know better - not your soldiers' god, nor any other.
Janet Morris
I can start the rain. Bring thunder. Bring lightning. Want to see?
Janet Morris
For me, myth is the 'common' language of us all.
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
I won't go back and live in the sea again.
Janet Morris
What is needed is never to be had without price.
Janet Morris
Now the Fates are here on the beach, three shadows blacker than black, walking through the dunes and looking for their own. Just shadows, lamb-white hands beneath black robes spun of tears, glide among the celebrants on this night wherein the spirits of Thebes have found a home, if serendipitously.

Survival has its own etiquette.
Janet Morris
I...keep trying to be perfect. For you. So you'll notice me.
Janet Morris

Janet Morris
Arrows are cheap you're expensive.
Janet Morris
Generosity is never out of season.
Janet Morris
It is upon each soul to recognize its limit.
Janet Morris
For Tempus...was a dozen storm gods' avatar no army he sanctified could know defeat no war he fought could not be won. Combat was life to him he fought like the gods themselves.
Janet Morris
To take care of the world seemed, finally, a privilege rather than a burden. The Riddler had led them to life's greatest victory. They had found a home.
Janet Morris
I must decide if you deserve to die.
Janet Morris
It was his soul's freedom that was in question. And that question was whether freedom was worth the price when it meant shirking the responsibilities of honor.
Janet Morris
Such hubris could only come from a man's mouth.
Janet Morris
The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
Janet Morris
To the death with honor, shoulder to shoulder, and no one gets closer to a Stepson than his partner.
