“Your death has not been waiting for your arrival at the appointed hour: it has, for all the years of your life, been racing towards you with the fierce velocity of time's arrow. It cannot be evaded, it cannot be bargained with, deflected or placated. All that is given to you is the choice: meet it with open eyes and peace in your heart, go gentle to your reward. Or burn bright, take up arms, and fight the bitch.”
― Mark Lawrence, Red Sister

“I’m a liar and a cheat and a coward, but I will never, ever, rarely let a friend down.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Wheel of Osheim

“Sometimes my lies impressed the hell out of me.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Liar's Key

“When a long book succeeds, the writer and reader are not just having an affair; they are married.”
