“The truth is like salt. Men want to taste a little, but too much makes everyone sick.”
Joe Abercrombie, The Heroes

“So many great nobles, things, administrations,
so many high chieftains, so many brave nations,
so many proud princes, and power so splendid;
In a moment, a twinkling, all utterly ended.”
Jacobus de Benedictus

Joe Abercrombie
“But here’s the sorry truth — if you really don’t want a thing, you don’t have to keep telling yourself so.”
Joe Abercrombie, The Wisdom of Crowds

“You have to realistic about these things.”
Joe Abercrombie, Last Argument of Kings

Joe Abercrombie
“Has it ever occured to you, Master Ninefingers, that a sword is different from other weapons? Axes and maces and so forth are lethal enough, but they hang on the belt like dumb brutes. But a sword...a sword has a voice.
Sheathed it has little to say, to be sure, but you need only put your hand on the hilt and it begins to whisper in your enemy's ear. A gentle word. A word of caution. Do you hear it?
Now, compare it to the sword half drawn. It speaks louder, does it not? It hisses a dire threat. It makes a deadly promise. Do you hear it?
Now compare it to the sword full drawn. It shouts now, does it not? It screams defiance! It bellows a challenge! Do you hear it?”
Joe Abercrombie, The Blade Itself
