Glen Cook Men Quotations

We hit the ball pretty well, but in the last inning we started taking pitches again with men in scoring position. It had been a week since we played, and we showed it.

The man who counts on the aid of a god deserves the help he doesn't get.

I'm a bad man. I need to understand the past. It illuminates the present.

I believe in our side and theirs, with the good and evil decided after the fact, by those who survive. Among men you seldom find the good with one standard and the shadow with another.

Rich men have dreams. Poor men die to make them come true.

The people come from everywhere, from five hundred miles, to find their fortunes. By fortune is an ugly, two-faced goddess. When you have lived with her handiwork for half a generation, you hardly notice anymore. You forget that this is not the way life has to be. You cease to marvel at just how much evil man con conjure by existing.

Any man who barely sustains an armistice with himself has no business poking around in an alien soul.

If one chooses sides on emotion then the rebel is the guy to go with. He is fighting for everything men claim to honour, freedom, independance, truth, the right.......all the subjective illusions. All the eternal trigger words. We are minions of the villan of the piece. We confess the illusion and deny the substance.
