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
There’s something brittle in me that will break before it bends.
Mark Lawrence
If you must run, have something to run toward, so it feels less like cowardice.
Mark Lawrence
Few things worth having can be got easily.

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
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.

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.

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.

I threw them wide.

Mark Lawrence
In the end it seems we're just toys,easy to break and hard to mend
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
If the sins of the flesh ever got old I didn't ever want enough years on me to know it.
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
Confusing the author and the character seems to be a popular and rather unsophisticated reaction to books.
Mark Lawrence
I think you need to have lived more to truly know a man's heart. You need to have made more transactions in life to know the worth of the coin you spend so freely
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
Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
