Quote by James Islington

“Eidhin: Tricky. We would need to meet again straight after. Otherwise your ceding will be obvious during your exam. Vis: You're willing? His look is disdainful. Eidhin: To help you avoid death for something that is entirely not your fault? Yes. He waves his hand as if I asked him to pass me a drink, not commit what the Hierarchy would consider fairly close to treason.”

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.”
