Quotes

“I tell you, lad, that men will believe if one says, ‘The Gods say…’ They will believe if one says, ‘I had a Vision…’ They will believe if one says, ‘It was told me on a tablet of hidden gold…’ But, if one says, ‘History teaches,’ then they will not believe.”
King's Blood Four, Chapter 5
“You have not reared him to care what others do, or think, or say. How then should he care for education, for is that not the study of what others care about?”
The Song of Mavin Manyshaped, Chapter 6
“I’ll tell you, nothing is so dangerous as ambition in a man who cares not who stands in his way.”
The Flight of Mavin Manyshaped, Chapter 3

The Gate to Women's Country, Chapter 10
