Geralt: Who would want to destroy the world? Wars aren't waged to destroy. Wars are waged for two reasons. One is power, and the other is money.

Geralt: I protect people for money. Not out of the goodness of my heart.

Geralt: It's not worth worrying about storytellers. If they don't have enough material, they'll make things up anyway. And if they do have authentic material at their disposal, they'll distort it.

Calanthe: This isn't a fairy story. It's real life. Lousy, evil, onerous, not sparing of errors, harm, sorrow, disappointments, or misfortunes; not sparing of anyone, neither queens nor witchers.

Yurga: Well, what can I say? It's a base world. But that's no reason for us all to become despicable. What we need is kindness.

Eithne: The sword of destiny has two blades. You are one of them.
Geralt: There is no destiny. The only thing everyone is destined for is death.
