“I am afraid for my Table. I am afraid of what is going to happen. I am afraid it was all wrong.’
‘Nonsense.’
‘When I started the Table, it was to stop anarchy. It was a channel for brute force, so that the people who had to use force could be made to do it in a useful way. But the whole thing was a mistake. No, don’t interrupt me. It was a mistake because the Table itself was founded on force. Right must be established by right: it can’t be established by Force Majeure. But that is what I have been trying to do. Now my sins are coming home to roost. Lancelot, I am afraid I have sown the whirlwind, and I shall reap the storm.”
― The Once and Future King

“One of my big problems and the reason I've had so much trouble getting sober over the years, is I never let myself feel uncomfortable long enough to have a spiritual connection. So I fix it with pills and alcohol before God can jump in and fix me.”

“In one book I read about death that it's like when you're a child playing outside in the snow, and your mother watches you through the window, and then she calls you. You've just been out playing for long enough, and it's time to go home. You've tumbled about in the snowdrifts, you're wet, your felt boots are full of snow. You'd like to go on and on playing, but it's time. And it's no good trying to argue. You're stubborn, and that's really great. There's only a little handful of you left, and you're still clinging on to life. You don't want to go.”
