Dark Age (Red Rising Saga #5)

by Pierce Brown

“Life is meant to be felt. Else why live? Valleys make the mountains.”

But the measure of a man is not the fear he sows in his enemies. It is the hope he gives his friends.

“I know our ways are strange to you, but hard ways are necessary to govern wild spirits.

the spirit comes alive when you see someone say, no more.

I admire the change even as I feel it’s a loss to the world that he’s no longer a boy. The world has enough men. But maybe he can be a different kind of man.

Stupidity is not a victimless crime.

There’s never a right call, just people who make the hard ones.”
