Quote by James Islington

“Eidhin: It is unpleasant, but this is the world you and I live in, now. Men must be bought or compelled, rather than relied upon to do the right thing. I will make sure Quintus Elevus does the right thing.”

“I feel like a clay pot sitting in the furnace. Come morning, I am not certain whether I will be riddled with cracks and find I have become useless, or if I will be rendered stronger." Esther smiled. "How well you put it. I believe I have been through that blaze myself, and more than once. We all face the flames of life, whether we wear a crown or not." She opened and closed her golden fan. "I beg your pardon, Shoshanah. I know that my needs as queen have added to your burdens when you already carry much." Sazana's mouth hung open. Had Esther apologized to her? A queen asking pardon of a potter? No. A friend asking pardon of a friend. She smiled warmly. "I only wish I could be a better help to you. To our people." "Sometimes you have to tend to your own heart before you can help anyone else.”

“- Un prieten este un al doilea sine, îi spuse Ugo, devenind brusc interesat și ridicându-și capul de pe brațe. […] Așa zic filosofii, că doi prieteni sunt un singur suflet împărțit în două trupuri, doar că Miro nu mă avea doar pe mine, ci voia să fie prieten cu toți, așa că era precum hidra din Lerna cu un trup de șarpe și mai multe capete monstruoase. […] - Sunt oameni care au o inimă mai largă, un suflet mai mare în care pot locui mai mulți prieteni.”
