The Citadel of Forgotten Myths Quotes

“Traditions were trampled. Mandarin manners were disdained. Vulgarity was victorious! Chaos in all her old glory had come again to Kirinmoir.”
― Michael Moorcock, The Citadel of Forgotten Myths

“I respect you for the destiny you will fulfil and for the great sacrifices you will make, for you were born, Elric of Melnibone, to suffer all the world can do to make a mortal suffer, to lose what is most painful for a mortal to lose, and you reward for that will be unbearable loneliness, terrible grief and hopeless death; the death of memory and friendship. You will be remembered in you histories as a pale and nameless shadow and in your myths as one of many doomed heroes. With others of your ilk there will be none to remember you or your world. You will be remembered, Elric, by the better world your death will help create, but it will be as a dream, a vaguely recalled memory of your life and actions.”
― Michael Moorcock, The Citadel of Forgotten Myths

“A Holy War! What better than righteous piety to disguise over-reaching greed?”
