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.

More quotes by Mark Lawrence
I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option.
Mark Lawrence
I maintain a balanced view of the world, but that balance is always in my favour.
Mark Lawrence
For the longest time I studied revenge to the exclusion of all else. I built my first torture chamber in the dark vaults of imagination. Lying on bloody sheets in the Healing Hall I discovered doors within my mind that I'd not found before, doors that even a child of nine knows should not be opened. Doors that never close again. I threw them wide.

Sometime, It's easier to love someone with flaws you can forgive in return for them forgiving yours.
Mark Lawrence
She'll never love you better than she loves her own children.
Mark Lawrence
Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.
Mark Lawrence
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.
Mark Lawrence
Each day the memories weigh a little heavier. Each day they drag you down that bit further. You wind them around you, a single thread at a time, and you weave your own shroud, you build a cocoon, and in it madness grows.
Mark Lawrence
Four years and everything was the same, except me.
Mark Lawrence

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
You're a Good Little Slave
Mark Lawrence
Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
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
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
Let's go to Valhalla with the sun on our faces.
Mark Lawrence
Dark times call for dark choices. Choose me.
Mark Lawrence
And when pain bites, men bargain. Boys too. We twist and turn, we plead and beg, we offer our tormentors what he wants so that the hurting will stop. And when there is no torturer to placate, no hooded man with hot irons and tongs, just a burn you can't escape, we bargain with God, or ourselves, depending on the size of our egos.
Mark Lawrence
A strange thing — nails will hold a building together, but there's nothing better for taking a man apart.
