"Life is a jest of the Gods and there is no justice. You must learn to laugh… or else you'll weep yourself to death. - Merlin"
— Bernard Cornwell (The Winter King: A Novel of Arthur)

""He tolerated his fellow Englishmen, but the Welsh were cabbage-farting dwarves, the Scots were scabby arse-suckers, and the French were shriveled turds.""
— Bernard Cornwell
