“Men like you should be left to the mercy of women like me.”
Sam J. Charlton, The Citadel of Lies

“When you’re lost there’s nowhere to go but forward. One step at a time – and the way will show itself.”
Sam J. Charlton, Journey of Shadows

“Nothing ever stayed the same. There was no force in this world strong enough to withstand the march of time.”
Sam J. Charlton, The Well of Secrets

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
Mark Twain

“It is never too late to be wise.”
Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe

“Did it ever occur to you that when he told you he would come back he was lying? Many a man has done it. He probably meant no malice – he just did not want to see your tears and pleading. If you find him in Tarras you may not like what you discover. He won't thank you for crossing 'mountain and down' to find him. Life is not like the songs Avalon, tis far less pretty.”
Sam J. Charlton, Journey of Shadows

“When you’re lost there’s nowhere to go but forward. One step at a time – and the way will show itself.”
Sam J. Charlton, Journey of Shadows

“Twill be the end of us all when it comes...
The moon will devour the sun...
The sea will rise in a great wave and drown the world...
The Realms will fall...
Evil will crawl across the land.”
Sam J. Charlton, Journey of Shadows
