Quotes

  • His lantern guttered and finally went out. “Shit,” he said, shaking it. “Excuse me.”“You’re not afraid of the dark, are you?” she asked, chiding.“No, ma’am. I’m afraid of what’s in it.”
  • “We’re all pretending; that’s what events like this are all about.”“Why are we doing it at all?”“To fit it. Better that we be there to be spoken to than absent to be spoken about.”
  • Just because something is convincing, that does not make it true. It is merely convincing.
  • She started threatening the stability of the ruling classes, at least in their own eyes. No ruler who does that ever stands for long.
  • “Humans become violent when they feel their interest are threatened.”Galas scowled. “They were never threatened! Parliament is a rumor mill staffed by trough-fed clods who abuse the tongue of their birth every time they open their mouths. They all gabble at once and confuse one another mightily, and when this confusion is committed to paper they refer to it as ‘policy.’”
  • “Which do you prefer?”Armiger leaned over her and kissed her cheek. “Which what do I prefer?”“Do you prefer making love or reading?” Her voice held a teasing note, but he had learned there were frequently hidden needs behind her teasing questions.“To read is to make love to the world,” he said. “But to make love to a woman is to feel like the world is reading you.”She smiled, not comprehending, and fell asleep.
