Dan Simmons
“Who was Hitler?' I said.
Tyrena smiled slightly. 'An Old Earth politician who did some writing.”
Dan Simmons, Hyperion

Pierce Brown
“Without me, she would not eat. Without her, I would not live.”
Pierce Brown, Red Rising

Joe Abercrombie
“The seeds of the past bear fruit in the present.”
Joe Abercrombie, The Blade Itself

Joe Abercrombie
“There are few men with more blood on their hands than me. None, that I know of.
The Bloody-Nine they call me, my enemies, and there’s a lot of ’em. Always more enemies, and fewer friends.
Blood gets you nothing but more blood.
It follows me now, always, like my shadow, and like my shadow I can never be free of it.
I should never be free of it.
I’ve earned it.
I’ve deserved it.
I’ve sought it out.

Such is my punishment.”
Joe Abercrombie, The Blade Itself

Pierce Brown
“The measure of a man is what he does when he has power.”
Pierce Brown, Red Rising
