“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

“As he stood there, bathing, feeling the cool water and the warm sun, listening to the sounds of the birds and the squirrels, he reflected, as he often had over the years, that many men spent their entire lives looking for peace but that such a quest was a fool’s errand. Peace wasn’t something a man could find for the looking. Instead, it found him. It found him in brief moments like this, so quick that a man, if he weren’t paying attention, might not notice at all, and so rare that he could never be sure that this time wasn’t the last time.”

“I read once that brevity is the key to wit,” Vaste said, his voice barely audible over the hoofbeats of the entire raiding party. “Perhaps you should talk less.”

“Mothers never seem to feel like they are doing enough, do they? They tell me these stories, and I always think, the poor cratur! They juggle a million things at once, seems like. They’re always overwhelmed. Ready to crack. They’re expected to not just keep the wheels on the bus but construct the bloody thing, too. Then drive it. And wash it. And change the oil. I don’t know how they don’t just randomly start punching people. I would. What do they get fer their trouble? Ignored. What bollocks. I hear it all the time. Do it all, do it perfectly, and your reward is to be ignored. Is it any wonder they all feel, deep down, like they are failing? It makes me bloody furious. I tell these women all the time, I say, ‘Love, you just need to burn it all to the ground.’ They always laugh. They don’t take me seriously.”
