More quotes by Janet Morris
This is for you. A mage named Randal told me to give it to the Band if you ever came back. 'It surmounts evil,' he told me, 'keeps doom at bay.'
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
Such hubris could only come from a man's mouth.
Janet Morris
You three have done quite enough today: all of you and your feckless, treacherous god.
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
Dreamers and dreaming dead, lots of them from neither here nor there with no chance of getting home again, lost in place and time.
Janet Morris
What is needed is never to be had without price.
Janet Morris
Sacred Bands and elite squadrons aren't what the mercenaries' guild is about. Field them at your peril.
Janet Morris
If it was true today, it might be untrue tomorrow.
Janet Morris
Wisdom, Niko thought as he leaned his cheek against his long-handled rake, cannot be had without price.
Janet Morris
You get what you expect. Expect to heal. Expect victory.
Janet Morris
Everything that anyone respects is what men naturally excel at: fighting, accruing wealth, playing at power.
Janet Morris
When the balance is restored, people get hurt.
Janet Morris
To the death with honor, shoulder to shoulder, and no one gets closer to a Stepson than his partner.
Janet Morris
It is upon each soul to recognize its limit.
Janet Morris
Survival has its own etiquette.
Janet Morris
Choose life over death, Niko, when a choice can be made that puts no soul in jeopardy.
Janet Morris
I'm just a weapon of the god.
Janet Morris
Niko, you're halfway to where you need to go. It's the most dangerous time. And all the gods and forces have a stake in you, Hero. Or do you want to be just a memory, a cult somewhere, with people sacrificing horses to your name?
Janet Morris
Look to the souls of Your own soldiers, God, who labor in Thine awful cause.
