Image
I won't go back and live in the sea again.
Janet Morris
Image
Everything that anyone respects is what men naturally excel at: fighting, accruing wealth, playing at power.

Life to you, Riddler, and everlasting glory.
Janet Morris
Image
The heavens listen to what is said on these cobbles. Laws of man and nature come together here. Here you must be firm. Here you must be true.
Janet Morris
Image
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
Image
Be polite to all, friendly to none. Be professional. Be ready to kill everyone and everything.

Image
You've been playing gods-and-witches again, that's clear.

Image
Shed your mortal skin and let me take you beneath the waves.

We've the new hard-steel, though why they're all so hot to pay twice the price when men're soft as clay and even wood will pierce the boldest belly, I can't say.
