He did it again... :)
‘Kalam knelt beside Quick Ben, studied the man’s face for a moment, the slack expression, the closed eyes. Then he slapped the wizard. Hard.
Quick Ben swore, then glared up at the assassin. ‘I should crush you like a bug, Kalam.’
‘Right now, I think,’ he rumbled in reply, ‘a bug’s fart might blow you right off this ship, Quick.’

"There were clouds closed fast round the moon. And one by one, gardens died."

‘Truths, yes. One after another, one boulder settling down, then another. And another. Blotting out the light, darkness closing in, grit and sand sifting down, a solid silence when the last one is in place. Now, dear fool, try drawing a breath. A single breath.’

‘You find out who I am and it all falls apart.’ He grimaced, then spat down into the sea. ‘Very well. Nothing ever lasts, not even ignorance. My name’s Squint.’
‘I hate to puncture your ego – as tortured as it is – but no vast revelation follows your name.’
... Poor man. He did the right thing taking Coltaine’s life, but he’s the only one who can’t live with that.’

‘When I was a child,’ Apsalar said, ‘I believed that there were cities there, but no wars. Just beautiful gardens, and the flowers were ever in bloom, every season, day and night, filing the air with wondrous scents ... you know, I told all of that to someone, once. He later said to me that he fell in love with me that night.’

‘Look at that,’ he said. ..that moon’s nothing but a blur. Not the haze of cloud, neither. It’s a distant world, ain’t it? Another realm, with other armies crawling around in the fog, killing each other, draggin’ children into the streets, red swords flashing down over’n over. And I bet they look up every now and then, wonderin’ at all the dust they kicked up, makin’ it hard to see that other world overhead.’

‘ Sergeant Cord was still cursing at Crump, who had stupidly waved at one of the passing enemy ships, just after the battle that wasn’t. Crump .... was now listening to his sergeant with a broad, mindless smile, his expression twitching to sheer delight every time Cord’s tirade reached new heights of imagination.’

‘Ships were passing within a quarrel’s flight of each other, faces turned and staring across the gap, something like relief connecting that regard – Taralack had even seen a Malazan soldier wave. Before a fellow soldier had batted the man in the side of the head with a fist.’

‘The Adjunct’s voice: ‘High Mage, you and I must talk.’
‘It wasn’t—’ ‘Ben Adaephon Delat, you and I will talk. Now.’
Straightening, Kalam backed away, then halted at a gesture from Tavore.
‘Oh no, assassin. You as well.’

‘That was a Hood-damned illusion. Thank the gods cowering in their outhouses right now that the idiots swallowed the hook – but listen, it wasn’t just that. I had help. And then I had help!’ ‘What does that mean?’

‘they saw, upon Tavore’s expression, a growing ... dismay. And fear. And at first, neither emotion made any sense.
Unless ...
Unless she was unable to return such loyalty.
And so the doubt twisted free, like newborn vipers slithering from their clutch of eggs, and tiny, deadly fangs sank into every figure standing there, witness to what her face revealed.’
