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.

Image
You three have done quite enough today: all of you and your feckless, treacherous god.
Janet Morris
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Such hubris could only come from a man's mouth.
Janet Morris
Image
One man can make another's life so much better.
Janet Morris
Image
Wanting neither too much to live, nor too much to die.
Janet Morris

Life to you, Riddler, and everlasting glory.

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.

This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.

Image
Death is a doorway, Niko, that leads to an adventure greater than any you have ever known.
Janet Morris
Image
And personally, I've lost my thirst for vengeance.

Image
Always take responsibility for your past. It is your only collateral in life. Unless you despise yourself now, you cannot despise yourself then. Everything you did is a part of the process that brought you here. All your past is as alive and real as your so-called 'present.'
Janet Morris
Image
This is as 'alone' as I'm likely to get with you - you're not half so fetching as your daughter.
Janet Morris
Image
I can start the rain. Bring thunder. Bring lightning. Want to see?
Janet Morris
Image
I think we're all in Cime's army now. But never mind, the Storm God hasn't forgotten us. Heaven is no farther away than it ever was.
Janet Morris
Image
Learn what can, and cannot, be asked from destiny.
Janet Morris
Image
There are stranger things here than Thebans know about.
Janet Morris
Image
Niko's angular face caught a flicker of firelight and Tempus saw his future there: sharp purpose, discipline, and power in perfect balance love of man and gods, and mercy transcending all. If war ever wore a more humane face, this one would make it so.
Janet Morris
Image
You count up your dead, every one. Always. Recall them, each and all - every face, every heart.

Love sees all hate is blind.
