“A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

“It's too late to apologize for I have already forgiven you." -FitzChivalry Farseer”
― Robin Hobb

“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
