Andrzej Sapkowski
“Farewell, Ciri. Farewell, Swallow. “Farewell, Old Raven.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Tower of Swallows

Andrzej Sapkowski
“Everything has been, everything has happened. And everything has already been written about. Vysogota of Corvo”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Lady of the Lake

Andrzej Sapkowski
“Yes, O hermit. That’s how you fight Evil! If Evil wants to do you harm, inflict pain on you—anticipate it, ideally when Evil isn’t expecting it. If, though, you didn’t manage to anticipate Evil, if you were harmed by Evil, then pay it back! Catch it, ideally when it has forgotten, when it feels safe. Pay it back twofold. Threefold. An eye for an eye? No! Both eyes for an eye! A tooth for a tooth? No! All its teeth for a tooth! Pay Evil back! Make it howl with pain, so its eyeballs burst from its howling. And then, looking down at the floor, you may confidently say: what’s lying there won’t harm anybody any longer, it won’t threaten anyone. For how can it threaten anyone without any eyes? If it has no hands? How can it do any harm when its guts are trailing over the sand, and the gore is soaking into it?”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Tower of Swallows

Andrzej Sapkowski
“You may turn around.” “Lady of the Lake—” “And introduce yourself.” “I am Galahad, of Caer Benic. A knight of King Arthur, the lord of Camelot, the ruler of the Summer Land, and also of Dumnonia, Dyfneint, Powys, Dyfedd…”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Lady of the Lake

Andrzej Sapkowski
“Who are you,” he asked extremely calmly, “to dare to defile her name in such a way? Who are you to dare to abuse me with such miserable charity? Oh, I know, I see who you are. You are not the daughter of Lara. You are the daughter of Cregennan. You are a thoughtless, arrogant, selfish Dh’oine, a simply perfect representative of your race, who understands nothing, and must ruin and destroy, besmirch by touch alone, denigrate and defile by thought alone. Your ancestor stole my love from me, took her away from me, selfishly and arrogantly took Lara from me. But I shall not permit you, O his worthy daughter, to take the memory of her from me.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Lady of the Lake
