“Possibilities that lay in the past were illusions, closed doors, as meaningless as unfulfilled intentions.”
― Fonda Lee, Jade City

“Sometimes the most obvious and direct answer is the best one.”
― Fonda Lee, Jade War

“I have been chosen and trained to carry the gift of the gods for the good and protection of the people, and against all enemies of the clan, no matter their strength or numbers. I join myself to the fellowship of jade warriors, freely and with my whole being, and I will call them my brothers-in-arms. Should I ever be disloyal to my brother, may I die by the blade. Should I ever fail to come to the aid of my brother, may I die by the blade. Should I ever seek personal gain at the expense of my brother, may I die by the blade. Under the eyes of all the gods in Heaven, I pledge this. On my honor, my life, and my jade.”
― Fonda Lee, Jade City

“Out of small resentments, spring great wars.”
― Fonda Lee, Jade War
