Mark Lawrence Quotes
When They Killed Him, Mother Wouldn't Hold Her Peace, So They Slit Her Throat. I Was Stupid Then, Being Only Nine, And I Fought To Save Them Both. But The Thorns Held Me Tight. I've Learned To Appreciate Thorns Since. The Thorns Taught Me The Game. They Let Me Understand What All Those Grim And Serious Men Who've Fought The Hundred War Have Yet To Learn. You Can Only Win The Game When You Understand That It IS A Game. Let A Man Play Chess, And Tell Him That Every Pawn Is His Friend. Let Him Think Both Bishops Holy. Let Him Remember Happy Days In The Shadows Of His Castles. Let Him Love His Queen. Watch Him Loose Them All.
