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.

More quotes by Janet Morris
What doesn't bend must break, when dooms are apportioned and destiny takes the lead. As it will now, and as it must, until this struggle ends.
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
There must be love, and understanding, to betray. Most men haven't the wit or the honor for betrayal: not to know it when they see it not the stomach to apprehend it as they do it. Most men, blind and dumb in their self-centeredness, don't betray: they merely disappoint.
Janet Morris
The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
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
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
Keep your enemies at a distance, your partners close at hand.
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
Use him wisely. Few have been given such a weapon by the gods or Fates before.
Janet Morris
Go carefully, child of mat, where no mercy can be had, and let your faith lead you on.
Janet Morris
Tempus wanders eternally, bringing death to whomever loves him and being spurned by whomsoever he shall love.
Janet Morris
Love sees all hate is blind.
Janet Morris
I'm just a weapon of the god.
Janet Morris
Some nights, valor and cold purpose aren't enough.
Janet Morris
Revenge is never the best driver for a battle, but a common one.
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
For me, myth is the 'common' language of us all.
Janet Morris
Wanting neither too much to live, nor too much to die.
Janet Morris
Sometimes the cost of winning for all the right reasons is so great that spirits die and hearts grow cold.
Janet Morris
One man can make another's life so much better.
