“Don’t apologize; just be better, Jol,” Sindri said, exasperated. “That’s all I ever ask. Be better than you are, even just a little. Do that enough times, and before long you’ll be better than us all, and that’s a goal worth pursuing.

“I've been trying to get through this damn book again". Ardee slapped at heavy volume lying open, face down, on a chair.
"The Fall of the Master Maker", muttered Glokta. "That rubbish? All magic and valor, no ? I couldn't get through the first one".
"I sympathize. I'm onto the third and it doesn't get any easier. Too many damn wizards. I get them mixed up one with another. It's all battles and endless bloody journeys, here to there and back again. If so much as glimpse another map I swear I kill myself”
