“The gods cared nothing for the fate of mortals, and those who prayed to them for benediction were no less fools than those who railed against them when the winds of fortune turned contrary.

Because it was safer to have faith in some higher order than it was to acknowledge the precariousness of their lives.”
― Marc Turner, Dragon Hunters

― George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords
