“And now the page before us blurs.
An age is done. The book must close.
We are abandoned to history.
Raise high one more time the tattered standard
Of the Fallen. See through the drifting smoke
To the dark stains upon the fabric.
This is the blood of our lives, this is the
Payment of our deeds, all soon to be
Forgotten.
We were never what people could be.
We were only what we were.

Remember us.”
― Steven Erikson, The Crippled God

“There's something stalking us. Off to the side of the road, moving through the forest.'

Kettricken smiled.”
― Robin Hobb, Assassin's Fate

“Personal isn't the same as important.”
― Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms
