“Life has ways of getting under your skin, spoiling your fun with too much information. Youth is truly the happiest time where we roll in the bliss of ignorance.”
― Mark Lawrence, Prince of Fools

“I call it howling but it was screaming. Man, dog, horse. With enough hurt we all sound the same.”
― Mark Lawrence, Emperor of Thorns

“There are no happy endings for such as us, Chella. No redemption. Not with our sins. Any joy is borrowed—laughter shared on the road, and left behind.” He turned to Kai. “I have killed children, Kai Summerson. In such company you will too.”
― Mark Lawrence, Emperor of Thorns

“We twist and turn, we plead and beg, we offer our tormentor what he wants so that the hurting will stop. And when there is no torturer to placate, no hooded man with hot irons and tongs, just a burn you can't escape, we bargain with God, or ourselves, depending on the size of our egos. I made mock of the dying at Mabberton and now their ghosts watched me burn. Take the pain, I said, and I will be a good man. Or if not that, a better man. We all become weasels with enough hurt on us. But I thing a small part of it was more than that. A small part was that terrible two-edged sword called experience, cutting away at the cruel child I was, carving out whatever man might be yet to come. I promised a better one. Though I have been known to lie.”
― Mark Lawrence, King of Thorns
