“What in Hood's name are you doing down here?'
'Hiding, what's it look like? That's always been your problem, Kal, your lack of subtlety. Sooner or later it's going to get you into trouble. Is it dark yet?'
'No. Listen, what's with this damned gale up top? It's all wrong-'
'You just noticed?'
Kalam scowled in the gloom. Well, at least he'd found the wizard. The High Mage of the Fourteenth, hiding between crates and casks and bales. Oh, how bloody encouraging is that?
...
Quick Ben moved further into the narrow space between cargo. 'Here, there's room.'
After a moment, Kalam joined him. 'You got anything to eat? Drink?'
'Naturally.'
'Good.”

“To jest prawdziwa tajemnica cywilizacji. Choć zawsze wykorzystywał ją w swym interesie, nadal nie zbliżył się do jej zrozumienia. Gotowość inteligentnych (powiedzmy, w miarę inteligentnych) osób do oddania przerażająco wielkiej części swego krótkiego życia w służbie komuś innemu. A jaka spotykała je za to nagroda? No cóż, może odrobina bezpieczeństwa. Cement, jakim jest stabilizacja. Dach nad głową, coś na talerzu i umiłowane potomstwo, skazane na powtarzanie tej samej drogi życiowej. Czy to była uczciwa transakcja? On by jej za taką nie uznał.”

“This is Quick Ben’s game, O Elder. The bones are in his sweaty hands and they have been for some time. Now, if at his table you’ll find the Worm of Autumn, and the once Lord of Death, and Shadowthrone and Cotillion, not to mention the past players Anomander Rake and Dessembrae, and who knows who else, well – did you really believe a few thousand damned Nah’ruk could take him down? The thing about Adaephon Delat’s game is this: he cheats.”

“Geralt uniósł kufel. Znał się z wieloma krasnoludami, wiedział, jak się przepija i jak wznosi toasty.
- Za pomyślność sprawy słusznej!
- A na pohybel skurwysynom! - dopowiedział krasnolud, stukając kuflem o jego kufel.”

“-Como muy bien has advertido, esto no es un cuento, sino la vida real. Terrible y malvada. Y por eso, maldita sea, vivámosla lo mejor y más decentemente posible. Limitemos la cantidad de los daños realizados a otros al mínimo indispensable.”
