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

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.

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

I wanted to go home and if Hell rose up to stop me, it would make me desire it more.

Image
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.

Image
Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.

Dark times call for dark choices. Choose me.
Mark Lawrence
Image
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.

It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh
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.

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.

A strange thing — nails will hold a building together, but there's nothing better for taking a man apart.

something in me had got broken, but not so broken I didn't remember what it was.
