More quotes by Janet Morris
This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.
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
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.
Janet Morris
Men may not believe you, my son. But you must always say the truth, when the truth holds no danger for you or your loved ones.
Janet Morris
The city guardsmen were like the keres, doom-bringers of merciless vengeance.
Janet Morris
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
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
Men are fools who forget what really matters while time goes by.
Janet Morris
For me, myth is the 'common' language of us all.
Janet Morris
Gods and politics are the tools with which the godless and unprincipled manipulate the gullible.
Janet Morris
Generosity is never out of season.
Janet Morris
Everything that anyone respects is what men naturally excel at: fighting, accruing wealth, playing at power.
Janet Morris
You three have done quite enough today: all of you and your feckless, treacherous god.
Janet Morris
Tempus wanders eternally, bringing death to whomever loves him and being spurned by whomsoever he shall love.
Janet Morris
Life to you, Riddler, and everlasting glory.
Janet Morris
Bandara was not an easy place to return to: it could hide from the common worlds whose periphery it inhabited. But Bandara never had, in all its years, completely disappeared.
Janet Morris
Die never for a god, Nikodemos who should know better - not your soldiers' god, nor any other.
Janet Morris
Deception is a tactic: use it. Do whatever it takes to win.
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
Sometimes the cost of winning for all the right reasons is so great that spirits die and hearts grow cold.
