“You seem to think peace is a natural state, Siward, and conflict its interruption, but the truth is the exact opposite. Peace is what the sea looks like in a dead calm - a rare and beautiful moment - something impossible - a glimpse of perfection before the wind comes back again.

You can no more force peace into existence than you can wander across the surface of the sea stamping the waves flat.”
David Greig, Dunsinane

David Greig

“Even at the best of times, no one was less welcome in Scotland than a Viking after a massacre.”
