Die never for a god, Nikodemos who should know better - not your soldiers' god, nor any other.
Janet Morris
Image
Dreamers and dreaming dead, lots of them from neither here nor there with no chance of getting home again, lost in place and time.

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
Image
Death is a doorway, Niko, that leads to an adventure greater than any you have ever known.
Janet Morris
Image
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.

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

Image
I...keep trying to be perfect. For you. So you'll notice me.
Janet Morris
Image
The universe forgives those who give until their hearts are aching and their spirits weak, and finds a way to renew all strength and cure all ills, in this world or the next, if a soul can just have faith.
Janet Morris
Image
What would the world be without him, and those like him?
Janet Morris
Image
This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.
Janet Morris
Image
Fight for life itself and everlasting freedom of the human spirit.
Janet Morris
Image
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.

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.
Janet Morris
Image
Sacred Bands and elite squadrons aren't what the mercenaries' guild is about. Field them at your peril.
Janet Morris
Image
Use him wisely. Few have been given such a weapon by the gods or Fates before.
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.
