More quotes by Mark Lawrence
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
I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option.
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
Confusing the author and the character seems to be a popular and rather unsophisticated reaction to books.
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.
Mark Lawrence
Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.
Mark Lawrence
Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.
Mark Lawrence
Four years and everything was the same, except me.
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
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
We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.
Mark Lawrence
Let's go to Valhalla with the sun on our faces.
Mark Lawrence
Few things worth having can be got easily.
Mark Lawrence
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?
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
It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh
Mark Lawrence
She'll never love you better than she loves her own children.
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
If you must run, have something to run toward, so it feels less like cowardice.
