Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.

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.

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.

Mark Lawrence
Image
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.

If the sins of the flesh ever got old I didn't ever want enough years on me to know it.

Image
Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.
Mark Lawrence
Image
No half measures. Some things can’t be cut in half. You can’t half-love someone. You can’t half-betray, or half-lie.
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?

Take a rest and the world catches up with you. Lesson in life--keep moving.
