Book cover for The Last Wish (The Witcher, #0.5)
“You remind me, Geralt, of an old fisherman who, toward the end of his life, discovers that fish stink and the breeze from the sea makes your bones ache.

Seth Dickinson
“She went about her work.

By sundown she owned a restaurant and a flophouse, the Fiat Bank branch by the dock was on fire, and two pirate captains were dueling for her hand as she sold prostitutes in lots of half a hundred.”
Seth Dickinson, The Monster Baru Cormorant

John Connolly
“If 'why' was the first and last question, then 'because I was curious to see what would happen' was the first and last answer. A version of it had been spoken to God Himself in the Garden of Eden, and it was destined to be the reason for the end of things at the hands of man.”
John Connolly, The Wanderer in Unknown Realms

Patrick O'Brian
“Why, sir," said he, looking about him, "what splendour I see: gold lace, breeches, cocked hats. Allow me to recommend a sandwich. And would you be contemplating an attack, at all?"
"It had crossed my mind, I must admit," said Jack. "Indeed, I may go so far as to say, that I am afraid a conflict is now virtually inevitable. Did you notice we have cleared for action?”
Patrick O'Brian, The Mauritius Command

Agatha Christie
“You tell your lies and you think nobody knows. But there are two people who know. Yes- two people. One is le bon Dieu - and the other is Hercule Poirot”
Agatha Christie, The Mystery of the Blue Train

Patrick Rothfuss
“I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
