What a man can take with a sword, a woman can give by her flesh alone. Life.

When both my editors say 'This is really bad, you need to change this,' I ignore that at my peril.

One can only walk so far from one's true self before the bond either snaps, or pulls one back.

Writers really do that. We weep over our characters. We are saddened sometimes for days when we say goodbye to a world or a character. They do become our best friends. I've probably spent more time with them over the past 22, 24 years than I have spent with most of the real members of my family.

Well,the fun part of being a writer is that it's like making a wonderful film, with no limit on my budget. I can design the sets, the costume, the lightings, I write the script, and then I get to perform all the roles as I step into each character's skin, zip up, and adopt that point of view. So, to me, they are all compelling and fascinating.

When considering a man's motives, remember you must not measure his wheat with your bushel. He may not be using the same standard at all.

Do you do this because you live such short lives? Tell yourselves wild tales of what might happen tomorrow, and feel all the feelings of events that will never happen? Perhaps to make up for the pasts you cannot recall, you invent futures that will not exist.

It was hard to reconcile the drumbeats and lifted voices in the night with my memories of flames and the screams of dying men. How could humanity range so effortlessly from the sublime to the savage and back again?

Besides, if there were no dragons of flesh and blood and fire, whence would come the idea for these stone carvings?

Men of passion and vision are often seen as mad.

The fight isn't over until you win it, Fitz. That's all you have to remember. No matter what the other man says.

Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.

Silent, the carved wizardwood on his wrist breathed. Silent as a blinded ship, floating hull-up in the sea. Silent as a scream underwater.

Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice.
