We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.
Mark Lawrence
Four years and everything was the same, except me.
Mark Lawrence
Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.
Mark Lawrence
I’ll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It’s the silence that scares me. It’s the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.
Mark Lawrence
Confusing the author and the character seems to be a popular and rather unsophisticated reaction to books.
Mark Lawrence
Humanity can be divided into madmen and cowards. My personal tragedy is in being born into a world where sanity is held to be a character flaw.
Mark Lawrence
Men think if they're getting laid, everything is fine. Women think if they feel good, everything is fine. Neither turns out to be a very good indicator.
Mark Lawrence
When you take a woman away from her man, what you get is a woman who can be taken away from her man.
Mark Lawrence
A man can reach into anything and turn it to his cause. It's not want, or desire, just certainty. Only be assured that whatever you reach into will reach into you in turn.

It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh
Mark Lawrence
Do you know why the leaves change colour?... Before a tree sheds a leaf it pumps it full of all the poison it can't rid itself of otherwise. That red there--that's a man's skin blotching with burst veins after an assassin spikes his last meal with roto-weed. The poison spreading through him before he dies.
Mark Lawrence
Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.
Mark Lawrence
Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
Mark Lawrence
A fool may scrawl on a slate and if no one has the wit to wipe it clean for a thousand years, the scrawl becomes the wisdom of ages.
Mark Lawrence
There's a road to hell that is paved with good intentions but it's a long route. The quicker path is paved with the kind of ignorance that clever men who just don't want to know are best at.
Mark Lawrence
I think maybe we die every day. Maybe we're born new each dawn, a little changed, a little further on our own road. When enough days stand between you and the person you were, you're strangers. Maybe that's what growing up is. Maybe I have grown up.
Mark Lawrence
You're a Good Little Slave
Mark Lawrence
something in me had got broken, but not so broken I didn't remember what it was.
Mark Lawrence
If the sins of the flesh ever got old I didn't ever want enough years on me to know it.
Mark Lawrence
Few things worth having can be got easily.
