The Reformed Reader

“we honour the dead not by how we mourn their death, but by how we live on despite it.”
― Ryan Cahill, Of Darkness and Light

“Rist always found there was something bittersweet about finishing a book. The sense of achievement and joy was often tarnished by the realisation that he could never read it the same way again. He could, of course, start from page one and read through to the end, but it wouldn’t be the same. His preconceptions and notions were irrevocably altered by the first read.”
― Ryan Cahill, Of War and Ruin

“Sleep was nothing more than a necessity now.”
― Ryan Cahill, Of Darkness and Light

“Regiment and discipline,” his father had said. “The makings of a soldier, and the necessities of a man.”
― Ryan Cahill, The Exile
