Additional quotes by Steven Erikson
And perhaps that is the final, most devastating truth. The gods care nothing for ascetic impositions on mortal behaviour. Care nothing for rules of conduct, for the twisted morals of temple priests and monks.

Perhaps our denial of life’s celebration is our greatest insult to those whom we worship and serve.

Gedoran grunted and said, ‘All we now need are a few Thel Akai, Haut, and we can swap old lies all night long!
