Quotes by Gareth L. Powell  (?)

“There are two kinds of courage. There's the kind you get from knowing that what you're doing is right. And there's the kind you get from knowing its hopeless and wrong, and just not giving a damn.”
Gareth L. Powell, The Last Reef

“We never know when we’re living through the good times. It’s only when everything turns to ashes and crap we realize how fortunate we really were.”
Gareth L. Powell

“And yet, despite my misgivings, I felt a certain wild joy. I was a heavy cruiser, a machine of death and conflict. Hiding, no matter how pressing the strategic necessity, felt like cowardice. I had done it because I had to; but now I was rising to meet my foe head-on, and I had forgotten how heady and intoxicating it could feel. I was charging the enemy from the depths of a furnace, my hull glowing and my torpedo tubes primed and ready to fire. What could be more glorious?”
Gareth L. Powell, Embers of War
