“Hurts don't stop, but they fade into the shadows of what they were. That's sad. That something so vital, something that bit you so deep, can be eroded by time into a story that almost seems like it happened to someone else. Any hurt. The years have taken away her meaning. It lessens us.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Library Trilogy

“All of us steal our lives. A little here, a little there. Some of it given, most of it taken. We wear ourselves like a coat of many patches, fraying at the edges, in constant repair. While we shore up one belief, we let go another. We are the stories we tell to ourselves. Nothing more.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn

“You can’t go back. Time is a river and there’s no swimming against it. You can’t go back. Yesterday does not wait for you. The past is on fire. What you find when you return to it will be ashes.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn

“People don’t want truth. They say that they do but what they mean is that they want the truth to agree with them.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn
