Quote by Dan Abnett

“Thus are dreams dashed and good intentions lost. Everything returns to the dust, and everything is reduced to blind fighting in the shadowed ruins of cities against men who were brothers until madness claimed their minds. Everything returns to the dirt, and the dirt becomes your camouflage, and hides your face and your cap badge in the dark, when death comes, growling, to find you out.”

“Perhaps, somewhere far East where the mothers and spouses of those left strewn across the grass sit and wait for their sons to come home, they think the same of their own precious ones. A hundred of her own would not be equal to one of theirs in their eyes. A funny sentiment, one that causes the slightest smile, unnoticed by all but one of those around her, to tilt the prince's lips up. They were all fools drenched in red, regardless of what deity or god it was in the name of.”

“Meraki watches them go with a strange fascination. The men of the east were truly intriguing in a sick sort of way. She could come at them armed to the tooth in iron and all they would see is the body that lay beneath, the softer feminine curves that indicate she is less worthy of their attention as anything besides just that; flesh. That is, until she actually drew blood, and then that’s when they saw her. And if that's what it took to be seen, then she would draw rivers of it.”

“I am acting, then," continued Alexander, "only on the defensive. The gods, who always favor the right, have given me the victory. I am now monarch of a large part of Asia, and your sovereign king. If you will admit this, and come to me as my subject, I will restore to you your mother, your wife, and your child, without any ransom. And, at any rate, whatever you decide in respect to these proposals, if you wish to communicate with me on any subject hereafter, I shall pay no attention to what you send unless you address it to me as your king.”
