More quotes by Mark Lawrence
If you must run, have something to run toward, so it feels less like cowardice.
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
Four years and everything was the same, except me.
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.

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
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.

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

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?
Mark Lawrence
Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
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
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.
Mark Lawrence
It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh
Mark Lawrence
I maintain a balanced view of the world, but that balance is always in my favour.
Mark Lawrence
something in me had got broken, but not so broken I didn't remember what it was.
Mark Lawrence
I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option.
Mark Lawrence
She'll never love you better than she loves her own children.
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
There’s something brittle in me that will break before it bends.
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.
