K.J. Parker Quotes

He Was Astonished At How Calm He Found He Was. Fear Of Death Had Always Energised Him, Making Him Move Far More Quickly Than His Body Should Have Been Capable Of, Accelerating His Reactions And His Thought Process To A Quite Incredible Level. This Time, Though, He Only Thought, Oh, And Realised That He Didn't Really Care All That Much. He Could Feel His Responsibilities, The Love Of Others Towards Him, The Unfulfilled Possibilities; They Were Like A Child's Hand Trying To Pull Him Up, Doing Its Best But Simply Not Strong Enough For The Job. Above All, There Was No Blame. I Tried To Climb A Wall, But I Couldn't, And There It Is.
