  Asher

• “I mean, you're so weak right now I could just pinch your nose shut an tip it down your throat, but that might be a mite undignified, I reckon. You know. Seein' as how you're king and all.”

  Asher

• “You asked me to take care of him, and I'm tryin', but ... you need to tell me how!”

  Asher

• “Death lies at the end of every journey. What matters is how we travel the road.”

  Dathne

• “I could have made you ugly and I didn't. Remember that, little sister. Remember I still love you, and this as well: you haven't won. ......... I'm sorry you're dead but I won't betray our father by rejecting her gifts just because you couldn't bring yourself to share”

  Gar

• “"Barl's mercy! you bang away like a bloody woodpecker, don't you?" "Given you possess all the sensitivity of a tree stump, I thought it the wisest tactic."”
