“You were kind.”
Cazaril shrugged. “Why not? What could it cost me, after all?”
Bergon shook his head. “Any man can be kind when he is comfortable. I’d always thought kindness a trivial virtue, therefore.

“Events may be horrible or inescapable. Men have always a choice—if not whether, then how, they may endure.”

“But Gideon was experiencing one powerful emotion: being sick of everyone's shit. She unsheathed her sword. She slid her gauntlet over her hand, and tightened the wrist straps with her teeth. And she looked over her shoulder at Harrowhark, who was apparently breaking out of a blue funk to experience her own dominant emotion of "oh no, not again." Gideon silently willed her necromancer to put her knucklebones where her mouth was and, for the first time in her life - for the first real time - do what Gideon needed her to do.
And Harrowhark rose to the occasion like an evening star.”
