2 " Stright shrugged. “Men like that captain, the one who hunts us, think of things in terms of boundaries, kingdoms, and laws. In truth, we are but caretakers. This land doesn’t belong to King Aengus. It belongs to everyone. We are all but stewards, not kings. "

13 " A wise Aldermaston once said, “To know nothing is the happiest life.” Knowledge is always a sword with two edges. It cuts away falsehood but reveals hypocrisy. Too much truth can lead to heresy. Such we are experiencing in Hautland with an Aldermaston who defied the High Seer of Avinion by hanging shingles decrying the established order. He has agreed to face trial at the abbey of Viegg. If he does not recant his deeds, he will be branded a heretic and excommunicated. He has agreed to come to the abbey on the condition that he will not face a trial of flame. His intention is to answer for his actions by citing the words of the tomes. He will be condemned. It did not have to be this way. He could have had a happy life if he had just remained silent. "

16 " Twynho dropped to his knee and rifled through the man’s tunic, but he wasn’t quick enough. A blast of fear struck Eilean, so powerful it made her wet herself. She couldn’t stop the rush or do anything other than feel the hot wetness run down her leg. "

17 " Must everything be a competition, though? A game of reputation? "

― Jeff Wheeler , The Druid (The Dawning of Muirwood #1)

18 " Man is to man either angel or wolf. From my experience, it is more often wolf. Savage, cunning, constantly preying on the weak, the aged, the sick in order to cull the herd. But some people are angels who strengthen the weak, visit and honor the aged, and heal the sick. It is easy to mistake angels for being harmless, but in the tomes of the angels, called the Sefers, the angels carry swords. And their words are just as sharp. "
