2 " My father once admonished me to master the laws that govern fine writing until I could weave my words into worlds. If ever I accomplish that feat, I will sign my name to the tale. "
3 " In short, heroism means doing the right thing regardless of the consequences. "
4 " Say no to death pies. Another good motto. "
5 " For each of us destiny is a blend of potential, circumstances, and choices. "
6 " A hero sacrifices for the greater good. A hero is true to his or her conscience. In short, heroism means doing the right thing regardless of the consequences. "
7 " What's the dog called?"Jason asked. "Feraclestinius Androbrelium Pathershin the Seventh." "No, I meant his entire name. "
8 " If we might be able to save this world, how can we walk away? Too many people around here have given up! Galloran said heroes sacrifice for causes; they do things that others hide from. I may not be some great hero, but I won’t hide from this. I would never live with myself. "
9 " You picked the right road, even though it is the most difficult. That is the essence of heroism. (p. 326) "
10 " Indulgence is emptiness. I have proved the limits of food and frivolity. There is no real fulfillment in meaningless rushes of pleasure. You try to conceal the emptiness with more extravagance, only to find the thrills becoming less satisfying and more fleeting. Most pleasures are best as a seasoning, not the main course. However you try to disguise it, you end up feeding without being nourished. "
11 " A hero sacrifices for the greater good. A hero is true to his or her conscience. In short, heroism means doing the right thing regardless of the consequences. Although any person could fit that description, very few do. Choose this day to be one of them. "
12 " Most pleasures are best as a seasoning, not the main course. p. 374 "
13 " ...Why are all these masks winking?" Jason pointed around the room with his fork. The loremaster dabbed at his mouth with a frilled purple napkin. "One eye is open to all truth, the other closed to all deception. "
14 " He recalled Galloran stating that being a hero meant doing what was right regardless of the consequences. The thought sent a thrill through him. Galloran had been in this same situation and had made the right choice. Jason felt less alone. Malodor had claimed that his opponents had no heroes among them. But Galloran was proof to the contrary. And Jason would be evidence as well. p. 420 "
15 " You said you wanted my story? Well, I was swallowed by a hippopotamus. Except I didn’t go into the hippo, I ended up in a tree. Then I sort of wandered here. "
16 " Not a wall in the building lacked books. Books even occupied the space above doorways. "
17 " They would probably search for him all over the zoo—the last place he’d been seen. He wondered if any evidence would implicate the hippo. "
18 " I am custodian of the knowledge hoarded here. "
19 " Any of the nearby volumes might hold information about hippopotamus portals or contain hints about how he might get home. "
20 " Only two towers remained standing, one of which was so crooked and damaged it looked ready to topple at a cough from a butterfly. "
