41 " Killing a man by accident had made her a villain. Killing another on purpose had made her a hero. But all she could do was frown at the body as they dragged it out, and feel there was something very odd in all this. "
― Joe Abercrombie , Half the World (Shattered Sea, #2)
42 " A man who gives all his thought to doing good, but no thought to the consequences …” Father Yarvi lifted his withered hand and pressed its one crooked finger into Brand’s chest. “That is a dangerous man. "

44 " The gods hate those who plan badly, and help those with good friends, good swords, and good sense. Worry less about what the gods might do and more about what you can, that’s my advice. "
45 " You keep an oath not for the oath but for yourself. "
46 " Perhaps we look at others and see only the things we don’t have. "
47 " Worry less about what the gods might do and more about what you can, that’s my advice. "
48 " I bloody hate people," she muttered, snatching another loaf from Safrit's hand.It was hardly the good thing to say but for once Brand couldn't keep his mouth shut. "Don't worry." He dragged his blanket over one shoulder and turned his back on her. "They feel much the same about you. "
49 " Vengeance only walks a circle. From blood, back to blood. Death waits for us all. You can follow your path to her bent under a burden of rage. I did, for many years. You can let it poison you. "
50 " Brand stared in sick disbelief. He’d been sure among all those lads someone would speak, for they were honest enough. Or Hunnan would tell his part in it, for he was a respected master-at-arms. The king or the queen would draw out the truth, for they were wise and righteous. The gods wouldn’t allow such an injustice to pass. Someone would do something. Maybe, like him, they were all waiting for someone else to put things right. "
51 " —Ningún camino digno de recorrer es fácil —repuso el padre Yarvi—. Cada uno de vosotros tiene puntos fuertes de los que el otro carece, puntos débiles que el otro compensa.

52 " Why give them a proper burning?” Rulf caught the lad by the arm. “Because if we beat beggars here, we’re no better than beggars. If we beat great men, we’re greater still. "
53 " No debería haberse permitido albergar ilusiones, pero las esperanzas son como las malas hierbas, que siguen apareciendo por muchas veces que las desbroces. "
54 " The trouble with being able to lift heavy things is that when heavy things need lifting folk step out of the way and smile at you. He’d done some tough jobs to earn a crust for him "
55 " When do I rest, then?” “In the songs of great heroes, do you hear often of resting? "
56 " Cuando no se puede tener algo, se quiere. Cuando se tiene, de repente brotan las dudas. Y luego, cuando parece que se puede perder, se descubre que se necesita más que nunca. El "
57 " Exactly so!" called Skifr. "I daresay this tight-lipped Vansterman knows battle. How did you get that scar, my dove?""I was milking a reindeer and she fell on me," said Fror. "She was ever so sorry afterward, but the damage was done" And Brand wondered if he winked his misshapen eye."Truly a hero's mark, then," grunted Thorn, curling her lip.Fror shrugged. "Someone must bring in the milk. "

60 " —No soy un guerrero.—Sí que lo eres.—Un guerrero no se asusta.—Un necio no se asusta. Un guerrero resiste a pesar del miedo, y tú has resistido. "
