The Heretic (Beyond the Wall, #1) QUOTES

1 " Wars are all fought by men who either believe they are right or who have no other choice. How they fight defines who they are when the blood stops flowing. "

― Lucas Bale , The Heretic (Beyond the Wall, #1)

2 " And whilst Shepherd sometimes saw the truth in the preachers’ words about freedom and hope, he also knew that violence and faith were intertwined, as he’d been taught. He carried a pistol and had taken the lives of men with it, but each time he handled it, he felt a small part of him inside grow darker. Whatever faith men had, whether it was in money or freedom, it was always wed to violence. "

― Lucas Bale , The Heretic (Beyond the Wall, #1)

3 " Freedom isn’t about choice—it’s about not finding yourself in Kolyma cracking a hammer against a wall all day and night. It’s about breathing air, not blood. Freedom is about picking your fights and living long enough to learn there’s no such thing. "

― Lucas Bale , The Heretic (Beyond the Wall, #1)
