She'll never love you better than she loves her own children.
Mark Lawrence
Few things worth having can be got easily.
Mark Lawrence
You're a Good Little Slave
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.

If you must run, have something to run toward, so it feels less like cowardice.
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
Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.
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've always felt that the placement of a man's testicles is an eloquent argument against intelligent design.
Mark Lawrence
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. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.
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.
Mark Lawrence
In the end it seems we're just toys,easy to break and hard to mend
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.
