More quotes by Mark Lawrence
All lives are tales. Some spread, and grow in the telling. Others are just told between us and the gods, muttered back and forth behind our days, but those tales grow too and shake us just as fierce.
Mark Lawrence
Four years and everything was the same, except me.
Mark Lawrence
We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.
Mark Lawrence
She'll never love you better than she loves her own children.
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
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
Some men are too dull to feel what might happen. Others torture themselves with maybes and populate their dreams with horrors more terrible than their worst enemy could inflict upon them.

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

Mark Lawrence
Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.
Mark Lawrence
There’s something brittle in me that will break before it bends.
Mark Lawrence
A strange thing — nails will hold a building together, but there's nothing better for taking a man apart.
Mark Lawrence
Sometime, It's easier to love someone with flaws you can forgive in return for them forgiving yours.
Mark Lawrence
Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.
Mark Lawrence
You're a Good Little Slave
Mark Lawrence
Few things worth having can be got easily.
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
Let's go to Valhalla with the sun on our faces.
Mark Lawrence
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.
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.
