“Evil turned out not to be a grand thing. Not sneering Emperors with their world-conquering designs. Not cackling demons plotting in the darkness beyond the world. It was small men with their small acts and their small reasons. It was selfishness and carelessness and waste. It was bad luck, incompetence, and stupidity. It was violence divorced from conscience or consequence. It was high ideals, even, and low methods.”
― Joe Abercrombie, Red Country

“Summers past love company, seems every time you turn around there's more o' the bastards at your back.”
― Joe Abercrombie, Red Country

“Still, it was better to swear an oath and never follow through than not even to bother with the oath. Wasn't it?”
― Joe Abercrombie, Best Served Cold

“We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.”
― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
