The Wrath of the Great Guilds Quotes

“Alain looked ahead, where the road ran onward to where it would reach the city of Altis, and along many paths through the city and to the port, where ships would continue the road across the water to countless other roads. Sometimes you could see where the road was going, but other times you could only guess. Like life, the road took on different aspects, and might wander down strange and unexpected ways. But it never really ended.”
― Jack Campbell, The Wrath of the Great Guilds

“You’re welcome. I still think I got the better end of the deal. Thank you for not giving up, even when our chances of reaching this day seemed like an illusion, even when it seemed there was no hope left. It looks like we have some more challenges to face someday, but I won't mind dealing with them as long as you're beside me.”
― Jack Campbell, The Wrath of the Great Guilds

“Thank you.” “For?” “You never gave up. Not on me, and not on the world. The day we met I told you that happiness was an illusion, as I had been taught by the Mage Guild elders. You have shown me that happiness does exist.”

“The elder nodded. Mari thought she saw the ghost of a smile on her lips. “The Mage Guild has always taught that wisdom required seeing all others as only shadows. That wisdom has never managed to advance, staying fixed in place. You have declared a wisdom which says the opposite. Wisdom lies in seeing others as real. That is the test, is it not, young Mage? Not to disregard others. Rather for each to be able to step outside of ourselves, to lose our selfish focus on ourselves, enough to see others as being as real as we are, as even more important than ourselves.”
― Jack Campbell, The Wrath of the Great Guilds

“I am bound to you by love, the most magical spell of all, which instead of quickly fading can grow more powerful over time.” She couldn’t help smiling at him. “You’re trying to distract me, aren’t you?” Alain nodded. “Unsuccessfully, it appears.”
