Quotes

You put a mask on a person, something weird happens. Changes the way they act along with the way they look. Sometimes they don’t seem like people at all no more, but something else.

Best Served Cold
Joe Abercrombie

I swear, the more you give a man, the more he demands, and the less happy he becomes.

Best Served Cold
Joe Abercrombie

The boundaries of civilisation are not the impregnable walls civilised men take them for. As easily as smoke on the wind, they can dissolve.

Best Served Cold
Joe Abercrombie

One cannot eliminate unhappiness any more than one can eliminate darkness. The goal of government, you see,... is to load the unhappiness onto those least able to make you suffer for it.

A Little Hatred
Joe Abercrombie
Sand dan Glotka

When you tell a lie, you have to sound like you believe it.... Goes double for the ones you tell yourself.

A Little Hatred
Joe Abercrombie

It ain’t ever as simple, is it, as a man is just good or bad? Not even you. Not even Bethod. Not anybody.

Last Argument of Kings
Joe Abercrombie

Government is tyranny. At its best it is dressed in pretty colours.

Last Argument of Kings
Joe Abercrombie

It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.

The Name of the Wind
Joe Abercrombie
Kvothe

My father always claimed that a league wasn't really a unit of measurement at all, just a way for farmers to attach numbers to their rough guesses.

The Name of the Wind
Joe Abercrombie
Kvothe

Soldiers seemed to care a great deal for flags. She had never understood that. You could not kill a man with one. You could not protect yourself with one. And yet men would die for flags.

Before They Are Hanged
Joe Abercrombie

That's what an idiot does when he gets angry. He destroys whatever's nearest, even if it's his own house!

Before They Are Hanged
Joe Abercrombie
Arch Lector Sult

But some things have to be done. It's better to do them, than to live with the fear of them.
