    R. Scott Bakker
    “Do not mistake me, Inrithi. In this much Conphas is right. You are all staggering drunks to me. Boys who would play at war when you should kennel with your mothers. You know nothing of war. War is dark. Black as pitch. It is not a God. It does not laugh or weep. It rewards neither skill not daring. It is not a trial of souls, nor the measure of wills. Even less is it a tool, a means to some womanish end. It is merely the place where the iron bones of the earth meet the hollow bones of men and break them.

    You have offered me war, and I have accepted. Nothing more. I will not regret your losses. I will not bow my head before your funeral pyres. I will not rejoice at your triumphs. But I have taken the wager. I will suffer with you. I will put Fanim to the sword, and drive their wives and children to the slaughter. And when I sleep, I will dream of their lamentations and be glad of heart.”
    R. Scott Bakker, The Darkness That Comes Before

    “A rose by any other name
    Would get the blame
    For being what it is--
    The colour of a kiss,
    The shadow of a flame.

    A rose may earn another name,
    So call it love;
    So call it love I will,
    And love is like the sea,
    Which changes constantly,
    And yet is still
    The same.”
    Tanith Lee, The Silver Metal Lover
