“De León. Ye live."
'"Sadly."
'"How?" he hissed.
'"God didn't want me. And the devil was afraid to open the door.”

“Where are w-we, Gabriel?
'"We're in shit, Ash," I hissed.
'Ohhh. Just another day, another d-day, then?”

“Every day for four weeks, I plucked hairs to etch the number of hollyroot drops in a dose of sanctus into my mind. Anything, everything I could do to remember.'
'You plucked hairs from your head to remember a recipe?'
'Not my head.'
The historian glanced down at the silversaint's crotch, one eyebrow raised.
Gabriel nodded. 'Every day for four weeks.'
'How many hollyroot drops are in a dose of sanctus?'
'Sixteen,' Gabriel answered immediately.
'Good God Almighty, de León.”

“I didn't know her name, and I supposed I'd not be keeping her long. So I just called her „Jez” as we rode on through the dark.'
Jean-François blinked. 'Jez?'
'Short for „Jezebel”. Since I'd only know her for a night and all.'
'Ah. Prostitute humour.'
'Don't fall down laughing, coldblood.'
'I shall do my very best, Silversaint.”

“It’s only in faerie tales that everything works out for the best with a magik spell or a prince’s kiss. It’s only in storybooks some little bastard picks up a sword and wields it like he was born to it. The rest of us? We have to work our arses off. And we might not ever taste triumph, but at least we dared to fail. We stand apart from those cowards whispering on the sidelines about how the strong did stumble, while never daring to set foot in the ring themselves. Victors are just folk who were never satisfied being vanquished. The only thing worse than finishing last is not beginning at all. And fuck finishing last.”
