Baptism of Fire (The Witcher, #3)

by Andrzej Sapkowski

In each of us lies a creditor and a debtor at once and the art is for the reckoning to tally inside us.

“Ignorance”—Regis smiled—“is no justification for ill-conceived actions. When one doesn’t know or has doubts it’s best to seek advice…”

Some say everything in the world—everything, with no exception—has a price. It’s not true. There are things with no price, things that are priceless. But you realise it belatedly: when you lose them, you lose them forever and nothing can get them back for you.
