Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
Mark Lawrence
Image
Some truths should perhaps be left unsaid. Some doors unopened. An angel once told me to let go of the ills I held too close, to let go of the flaws that shaped me.
Mark Lawrence
Image
I wanted to go home and if Hell rose up to stop me, it would make me desire it more.
Mark Lawrence
Image
When you're in a dark place, and your light is going to run out before too long, you get on with things. It's a wonder to me how few people apply that same logic to their lives.
Mark Lawrence
Image
something in me had got broken, but not so broken I didn't remember what it was.

We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.
Mark Lawrence
Image
You soon learn there’s no elegance or dignity in death if you spend time in the castle kitchens. You learn how ugly it is, and how good it tastes.

Image
Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.
Mark Lawrence
Image
You got responsibilities when you’re a leader. You got a responsibility not to kill too many of your men. Or who’re you going to lead?

I maintain a balanced view of the world, but that balance is always in my favour.
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.

You can only win the game when you understand that it is a game. Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.
Mark Lawrence
Image
If the sins of the flesh ever got old I didn't ever want enough years on me to know it.
Mark Lawrence
Image
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
Image
Confusing the author and the character seems to be a popular and rather unsophisticated reaction to books.
Mark Lawrence
Image
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.

Few things worth having can be got easily.

Some men are too dull to feel what might happen. Others torture themselves with maybes and populate their dreams with horrors more terrible than their worst enemy could inflict upon them.
