“If you cannot have an easy journey, have an interesting story.”
― R. Lee Smith, The Last Hour of Gann

“You did not let me keep my name, so I will strip you of yours. In this world you are what I say you are, and I say you are a ghost, a long night's fever dream that I have finally woken up from. I say you are the smoke-wisp memory of a flame, thawing ice suffering under an early spring sun, a chalk ledger of depts being wiped clean. I say you do not have a name.”
― S.T. Gibson, A Dowry of Blood

“I don’t know humans, but I know fools. And I know the surest way to encourage fools to follow a wicked man is to tell them not to.”
― R. Lee Smith, The Last Hour of Gann

“Kindness is a painless thing to give, and easy, a sop to those you do not need. Friendship and kindness have nought to do with this.' For a moment, the look in his eyes, as brilliant as an eagle's in the harsh inscrutability of his face, terrified her. 'I am not kind to the air I breathe, nor the food I eat, nor to you.”
― Teresa Denys, The Flesh and the Devil
