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.

More quotes by Janet Morris
And as for death - we get what we expect.
Janet Morris
So well do I love you, I go to my god singing your praises. When I meet my father, I will tell him I fought beside you.
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
I thought we'd die there, quarrels in our backs, you for what you did and me for bearing witness.
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
Generosity is never out of season.
Janet Morris
To the death with honor, shoulder to shoulder, and no one gets closer to a Stepson than his partner.
Janet Morris
I'm just a weapon of the god.
Janet Morris
Everyone prepares for battle in his own way.
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
What would the world be without him, and those like him?
Janet Morris
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
You've been playing gods-and-witches again, that's clear.
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
Gods have bloody hands.
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
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
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 are stranger things here than Thebans know about.
Janet Morris
Be polite to all, friendly to none. Be professional. Be ready to kill everyone and everything.
