Quotes by Steven Hartov (?)

“I have always been a patriot, Brandt. In order to be a truly effective soldier, one must believe in one's country, is that not so?”

“He most probably knew, already as a child, that he would accomplish great deeds of daring, and the trappings that would someday result were to be thought of as no more than diplomas. Medals were merely signatures upon the histories of dutiful deeds, which would have transpired with or without them.”
― Steven Hartov, The Soul of a Thief

“A wound only begins to heal when you make it scream. Pain is the key, a message from the brain that the blood flows again into mending flesh, that your will shall conquer weakness. If you lie there and try to fight it, you'll simply rot.”
― Steven Hartov, The Soul of a Thief
