I've always seen 'no' as a challenge rather than an answer.

She'll never love you better than she loves her own children.

It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh

It's an irony of our times that men seeking peace must make war.

Every man has his thorns, not of him, but in him, deep as bones.

There’s something brittle in me that will break before it bends.

Questions for questions. You're a man who's spent time at court.

I manage to read about one book a month, all fantasy these days.

I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option.

In the end it seems we're just toys,easy to break and hard to mend

Running ain't no bad thing. Leastways if you run in the right direction.

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

If you must run, have something to run toward, so it feels less like cowardice.

something in me had got broken, but not so broken I didn't remember what it was.

I maintain a balanced view of the world, but that balance is always in my favour.

We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.

Confusing the author and the character seems to be a popular and rather unsophisticated reaction to books.

Nature shaped the claw to trap, and the tooth to kill, but the thorn...the thorn's only purpose is to hurt.

I've always felt that the placement of a man's testicles is an eloquent argument against intelligent design.

I have a slightly crap blog where I opine on anything that occurs to me and run the occasional silly competition.

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.

It was a defeat, resorting to crude threats in a game of subtlety, but sometimes one must sacrifice a battle to win the war.

Most men have at least one redeeming feature. Finding one for Brother Rike requires a stretch. Is 'big' a redeeming feature?
