Quotes

• “Hrathen turned to Dial. “The first step in taking control of a nation, Arteth, is the simplest. You find someone to hate.””
• “You will find that hate can unify people more quickly and more fervently than devotion ever could.”
• ““Eventually I found the best source of information to be the soldiers with guard the city walls.”“I’ve heard of them,” Sarene said, looking over her clothing. “They’re supposed to be the most elite fighting group in Arelon.”“And they are very quick to tell you so, my lady,” Ashe said. “I doubt many of them would know what to do in a battle, though they seem quite proficient at cards and drinking. They tend to keep their uniforms well pressed, however.””
• “Men often place pride before reason.”
• ““I do, however, wonder why you preach hatred of the Atlantans when you yourself simply pity them.”Hrathen didn’t respond immediately, tapping his gauntleted finger against the stone parapet with a repetitive click. “It’s not so hard, once you accustom yourself to it,” he finally said. “A man can force himself to hate if he wishes, especially if he convinces himself that it is for a higher good.””
• ““I suppose an optimistic comment wouldn’t do much good right now.”Galladon smiled slightly. “Definitely not—you optimists just can’t understand that a depressed person doesn’t want you to try and cheer them up. It makes us sick.””
