More quotes by 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
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
It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh
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
I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option.
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
Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
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?

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
If the sins of the flesh ever got old I didn't ever want enough years on me to know it.
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
Few things worth having can be got easily.
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
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.
Mark Lawrence
It was a defeat, resorting to crude threats in a game of subtlety, but sometimes one must sacrifice a battle to win the war.
Mark Lawrence
I wanted to go home and if Hell rose up to stop me, it would make me desire it more.
Mark Lawrence
Take a rest and the world catches up with you. Lesson in life--keep moving.
Mark Lawrence
A strange thing — nails will hold a building together, but there's nothing better for taking a man apart.
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.
