1 " ...there is no such thing as a ferocious charge uphill. "
― Christian Cameron , Killer of Men (Long War, #1)
2 " The older men nodded agreement. The Iliad was a fine story for children, but Boeotian farmers know just what war brings – burned crops, raped daughters and death. The glory is fleeting, the expense immense and the effect permanent. "
3 " Sometimes, the gods are kind. And hubris is the worst of sins. "
4 " There is room in the world for many kinds of wisdom "
5 " Slave or free, a man is nothing but a pile of bones and flesh with blood in the middle. "
6 " [Men say they were like gods], but men say a great many things when an event is safely in the past - they tell a lot of lies. "
7 " … there is no argument as harsh as one where you know that you are wrong. "
8 " War is something a man should want to be late for. "
