“He also possessed Aurelius' curious innocence in battle: the fearless forgetting which led him to attempt and to achieve the impossible. This would, of course, come to be noticed much later. But even now he could be seen to exhibit a certain disregard for his own safety. I recognized it well, and knew its source, for I had ridden with Aurelius.

What is it, then, when there is no fear?”
― Stephen R. Lawhead, Pendragon

“I have lived long enough in the Great King’s care to know that whether I am blind as a bump or own the eyes of an eagle is a matter of such small regard it does not bear thinking about, much less worrying over.”
― Stephen R. Lawhead, Pendragon
