The Wisdom of Crowds (The Age of Madness #3)

by Joe Abercrombie

‘The thing about history is you don’t know what the right side is till long afterwards, and by then it hardly matters.’

‘Faith must be shaken from time to time, or it becomes rigid. An excuse for any outrage. I have come to believe that the righteous … should always have doubts.’

‘If your faults aren’t spread clearly before you, how can you improve on the bastards?’

The past isn’t made of facts, not really, just stories people tell to make themselves feel better. To make themselves look better.
