“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you've felt that way.”

“Ich will weder Reichtum noch Rum, weder Macht noch eine Krone", erwiderte die Hexerin. "Ich will ein Pferd, das soll schwarz sein und wie der Nachtwind nicht einzuholen. Ich will ein Schwert, das soll so hell und scharf sein wie das Mondlicht. Ich will in schwarzer Nacht auf meinem schwarzen Pferd durch die Welt reiten, ich will die Mächte des Bösen und der Finsternis mit meinem lichthellen Schwert schlagen. Danach verlangt es mich."
"Ich will dir ein Pferd geben, das ist schwärzer als die Nacht und schneller als der Nachtwind", sprach die Fee. Ich will dir ein Schwert geben, dass ist heller und schärfer als ein Strahl Mondlicht. Aber du verlangst nicht wenig, Hexerin, darum wirst du mich teuer bezahlen müssen."
"Womit? Ich habe doch nichts."
"Mit deinem Blute.”

“People," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.”
