More quotes by Janet Morris
Choose life over death, Niko, when a choice can be made that puts no soul in jeopardy.
Janet Morris
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
What we hold sacred is honor, justice, and glory. You need not swear allegiance to our storm god, to serve with us. Fighters are among us from many lands, with many gods and many beliefs. Believe as you will. What is between a man and his god is theirs alone to say.
Janet Morris

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
If it was true today, it might be untrue tomorrow.
Janet Morris
Keep your enemies at a distance, your partners close at hand.
Janet Morris
No ethos, pursued without thought or mercy, is ethical.
Janet Morris
