Travelers Along the Way Quotes

“The laughter of men is difficult to get used to at first.

I can never tell if the laughter is a threat or not. It rumbles through your chest like a stampede of horses, low and jolting. In the animal world, to bare your teeth is not a sign of kinship; it is a sign of war. Even having been in the company of men for the last year, I'm still not quite used to it. . . .

The laughter of men can turn to menace so quickly that even as I laugh alongside them, my own teeth are set on edge. I'm too tense to enjoy the meal before us.”

"Let's go steal her kingdom, then.”

“I thought the Templars took great pride in not knowing how to read?’

John frowns. ‘The knights do. But the chaplains and the servants have to know how. You cannot manage so much money across an empire, nor can you manage prayers and rites, without someone being literate, no matter what pride you take in ignorance.”
