Longshadow, my sister, the Deceivers, Kina herself if she gets in my way. Their Year of the Skulls is upon them. I close the Book of Lady. | Glen Cook | ||
| 8e1337a | Something he had heard some wise man say. About the three stages of empire, the three generations. First came the conquerers, unstoppable in war. Then came the administrators, who bound it all together into one apparently unshakable, immortal edifice. Then came the wasters, who knew no responsibility and squandered the capital of their inheritance upon whims and vices. | Glen Cook | ||

| 6e4524c | Thunderheads with lightning swords aflash on their brows grumbled and pounded the badlands, reminding me that trouble was not far away. | Glen Cook | ||
| 78ada31 | Even Brownie had a comment, a small doggie whimper. She leaned against the outside of my right thigh. Yeah. I started scratching ears. Those beasts have selectively bred us for thousands of years. | Glen Cook | ||

| 2d8154d | Early birds. Let 'em eat worms. | Glen Cook | ||
| 5be4341 | I was suspicious immediately. Be abidingly suspicious of any teenage male who is mannerly, respectful, and absent attitude. That kid is up to something. Guaranteed | Glen Cook | ||
| 42a2bc5 | Only way you're gonna have a world with universal equality is if you got one where there's only one guy left standing. | Glen Cook | ||
| 202028d | I greeted the morning the only way that makes sense. I groaned. I groaned some more as I pried me off the sheet. Several thousand maniacs were raising hell out in the street. I muttered dreadful threats, dropped my feet into the abyss beside my bed. My threats didn't scare up any peace. Pain blazed from my right temple to my left, ricocheted, clattered around inside my skull. I must have had a great time. I told me, "You got to quit drinkin.. | Glen Cook | ||
| c57024f | A club of sunshine whacked me right between the eyes. Like to laid me out. Gah! An ill omen for sure. These bright days are never kind. Everybody I ran into would be just like the weather: warm and sunny. Argh! I was in the mood for low overcast and light drizzle, maybe with a frigid south wind.

| 2803b63 | The sergeant major roared like a bear who'd broken a tooth while gnoshing on somebody's skull. I made out no distinct words but in all the history of the universe sergeants major never have been required to be coherent to be understood. | Glen Cook | ||
| 574ec67 | The common wisdom among former grunts is that competent generals wouldn't have screwed up so bad they got themselves killed and therefore there wouldn't have been any need for a memorial. Soldiers are a cynical bunch. | Glen Cook | ||
| 39e7717 | money has no provenance. It's never dirty, only the people who handle it are. | Glen Cook | ||
| c389617 | Mistakes that cost lives aren't easy to understand or forgive, but they happen. Despite what they want us mortals to believe, doctors are human. And where there are human beings, there's human error. It's inevitable. When doctors make mistakes, people hurt. | Glen Cook | ||
| c0ac266 | monsters aren't born, they're made. That they are memorials which take years of cruelty to sculpt.

| bbac51e | If you want to head for hell by way of smoking weed or opium, or by drinking, or by being dim enough to call a giant names to his face, go head. Enjoy the slide. I won't get in your way. Nope. I won't hand you a bucket of grease, either. You've got to do it on your own. | Glen Cook | ||
| 1898d6c | By this time, most of the defendants had resumed their normal lives. They were all out on bail. They were working, attending college, playing football, dating girls and, for at least a few months in the year, enjoying home cooking. It was pleasant being accused of being a gang rapist, having your picture published in national magazines along with pictures of convicted sexual offenders. But as media coverage of the case receded and then virt.. | Bernard Lefkowitz | ||
