"You'll never have peace, Bloody Nine. You're made of death."

This is your one-and-only earthly life. You must do what is right for you. Control your mornings, conquer the chaos that others bring into your life, and concentrate on what counts at night. Your life is your personal responsibility.

The best to-do list sticks to a handful of very specific, actionable, and non-conflicting items. Schedule your number one priority first. Attack it immediately in the morning. Start there and you will win your morning hours and you will own your day.

Control your mornings. Conquer the chaos of your afternoons. Concentrate on what really matters in the evenings.

"Everyone says this phoenix represents dying and coming back as something new, but I disagree. I think it's a symbol of surviving when the world burns down around us. It's a reminder that no challenge can destroy the parts of us that truly matter. We're not reborn in the flames. We're revealed."

Glokta has got to be one of the greatest characters ever created! I hate and adore him in equal measures!

"There would be no stillness, no permanence. There couldn’t be. Paul wasn’t strong enough to hold Julian in place. All there was to him was that desperate, wretched need; the weakness was unforgivable. The fantasy of the house fire had brought them to an impossible truth. They could only stitch themselves back together if they did something irreversible."

"Paul was almost relieved to feel the sting. It meant Julian saw every weakness in him and still thought he was worth the effort of hurting."

"he knows what it is to wonder what everyone else is doing differently in order to be happy"

"may not have loved my place in the world, but at least I knew where it was. Now, though, my future was smoke, opaque and foreboding, threatening to suffocate me alive if I didn’t find some way out. Now, my future felt . . . empty."

"You can never have too many knives, his father had told him. Unless they're pointed at you, and by people who don't like you much."

"whatever you do or don’t do, sweetheart, do it for yourself. Don’t choose a mediocre life for a mediocre man. Go be exceptional. If he’s worth it, he won’t judge you. And if he’s really the one, he’ll come along for the ride.”

"It can be a fearsome weapon, patience. One that few men ever learn to use."

"Remember what I told you. It's not your job to make anyone comfortable."

"Everyone's always muttering about the good gods, but the bad ones are way more interesting.
..."If you believe in fairytales."
"I'm a librarian, darling. Of course I do."

"When it comes to men, Jo, it's best just to assume the worst."

This is every bit as good as the hype led me to believe!

"I can feel it in every stitch of my being that I am meant to be loved, and be loved by him."

“Katherine Ferrers.” He said it like my name was a complete sentence—a complete story in its own right.

"There is no ‘just’ between us. Only everything.”

I'm obsessed!!

“We only get to be brave when we’re afraid.”

“If they know your heart, they will tear you apart to feast upon it.”

"Strange how the only valid weapons are ones that rely on brute strength - a domain where you'll beat us every time. So says a system created by men."

"The girl who'd tried so hard to fit the mould had died and been reborn."

"Rest well, my ember."

Ugh, I love him!

“Didn’t Lara’s death remind you how damn short your life is?” He spoke with a low ferocity. “Too short to deny yourself. Too short to spend it locked up in other people’s rules.” He released my shoulders. “Consider that next time someone offers you cake. It’s there to be eaten. Just like life is to be enjoyed.”

"ultimately, those in power wanted the rest of us not take up too much space. By "those in power" I meant men. And by "the rest of us" I meant women."
