1 " Petru Cobbin chciał capnąć Geralta za kołnierz, ale nie zdołał, bo do akcji wkroczył spokojny dotąd i małomówny Addario Bach. Krasnolud kopnął Cobbina w zgięcie kolana. Cobbin runął na klęczki. Addario Bach doskoczył, z rozmachem grzmotnął go pięścią w nerkę, poprawił w bok głowy. Waligóra zwalił się na pokład.- I co z tego, że duży? - Krasnolud powiódł spojrzeniem po pozostałych. - Robi tylko większy huk, gdy pada. "
― Andrzej Sapkowski , Season of Storms (The Witcher, #0)
2 " Va’esse deireádh aep eigean, va’esse eigh faidh’ar.(Something ends, something begins.) "
3 " Zwykłość zaś równa się nijakość, a nijakość to taniość. "
4 " Źle ci to idzie, Tzara. Nie umiesz. Żeby kogoś dobrze znieważyć, nie wystarczy przemożne pragnienie, entuzjazm ani zapał. Konieczny jest warsztat. "
5 " Shall I tell you good Witcher, what good people are ? They're people whom fate hasn't blessed with the chance of profiting from the benefits of being evil "
6 " Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster; for if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back into you. "
7 " A story is a largely false account of largely trivial events, fed to us by historians who are largely idiots. "
8 " It’s good to feel fear. If you feel fear it means there’s something to be feared, so be vigilant. Fear doesn’t have to be overcome. Just don’t yield to it. And you can learn from it. "
9 " Geralt uniósł kufel. Znał się z wieloma krasnoludami, wiedział, jak się przepija i jak wznosi toasty.- Za pomyślność sprawy słusznej!- A na pohybel skurwysynom! - dopowiedział krasnolud, stukając kuflem o jego kufel. "
10 " Anxiety is never irrational, Geralt thought to himself. Aside from psychological disturbances. It was one of the first things novice witchers were taught. It’s good to feel fear. If you feel fear it means there’s something to be feared, so be vigilant. Fear doesn’t have to be overcome. Just don’t yield to it. And you can learn from it. "
11 " I consider gazing into the abyss utter foolishness. There are many things in the world much more worth gazing into. "
12 " May I warn you in advance,” said Geralt, “that my swords are protected by powerful spells. Only witchers can touch them; others will have their vitality drained away. It mainly manifests in the loss of male potency. I’m talking about sexual enfeeblement. Absolute and permanent. "
13 " Which was why he knew that declarations about their safety could be classified along with such statements as: “my little dog doesn’t bite,” “my son’s a good boy,” “this stew’s fresh,” “I’ll give you the money back the day after tomorrow at the latest,” “he was only getting something out of my eye,” “the good of the fatherland comes before everything,” and “just answer a few questions and you’re free to go. "
14 " Guard against disappointments, because appearances can deceive. Things that are really as they seem are rare. And a woman is never as she seems. "
15 " If people pay for something they believe in it: whatever is paid for becomes real and legal. The more expensive, the better. "
16 " Time to ride, Dandelion.""Where to?""Isn't it all the same?""Yes, by and large. Let's go". "
17 " Říká se, že pokrok zahání temnotu. Ale vždycky budou stíny. A vždycky se bude ve stínech skrývat zlo, vždycky v nich budou zuby a drápy, vražda a krev. Vždycky budou tvorové tlukoucí po nocích. A my zaklínači jsme tady proto, abychom je ztloukli. "
18 " I’m generally in favour of sex on the first date. In the future, I recommend it to you in every respect. It eliminates the necessity of any further rendezvous with the same person, which can be wearisome and time-consuming. "
19 " It’s no wonder you can’t see them,” replied Geralt. “Because they’re invisible. What, haven’t you heard the legends about witcher swords? The uninitiated can’t see them. They appear when I utter a spell. When the need arises. If one arises. Because I’m capable of doing a lot of damage even without them. "
20 " ¿Hace falta decirte, buen brujo, quiénes son las buenas personas? Son aquéllas a las que el destino les ha escatimado las ocasiones de disfrutar de las ventajas de ser malos. O aquéllas que sí han dispuesto de tales ocasiones, pero han sido demasiado estúpidas para aprovecharlas. "
