The Lion Quotes

“I asked myself in the aftermath of the Siege of Terra whether the so-called victory was worth the cost. Now I wonder if we won at all.”
― Mike Brooks, The Lion: Son of the Forest

“The Emperor sent the Space Wolves when he wanted to make an example of an enemy that would linger in the memories of all, and he sent the First when he wanted no record of the enemy to remain.”
― Mike Brooks, The Lion: Son of the Forest

“Roboute Guilliman was able to focus on dozens of things at once and give them attention in excess of what most mortal minds could achieve dealing with just one such subject. It was what made him such a good logistician, and while the Lion might not have a great many compliments ready for his brother, the Lord of Ultramar’s organisational skills could not be denied: many of the Ultramarines’ successes came down to simply never encountering a situation for which they were not prepared. Guilliman himself had only ever been an adequate combatant in person, however; at least so far as their brotherhood went. The Lion has sometimes wondered if that was because Roboute was never able to properly give his full attention to anything.”

“To knowingly welcome ignorance is not his way.”
