Kindle Notes & Highlights
Sometimes the things that protect us are the same things that limit our freedoms.”
“Oh, but heavens, Kihrin, if we womenfolk were running around casting spells—why, it would be the end of civilization . . . Next, we’d want to inherit, own property, have a say in who we married. Who would stay at home and have the babies? Or put up with our men beating us or having a dozen mistresses on the side? Talk sense. Next you’ll be telling me that we Quuros shouldn’t own slaves.”
Do you think fortune will favor you because your cause is just and your heart is full of vengeance? As you said yourself, he is a monster. One does not slay a monster with good intentions.
Except real evil isn’t a demon or a rogue wizard. Real evil is an empire like Quur, a society that feeds on its poor and its oppressed like a mother eating her own children.
