" I saw many things. A journey over the great water; a grey stone fortress wi' a Guanette bird flying o'er it. These words were spoken in a high oratory voice, and its very flatness gave her words greater power. ' I saw yon gypsy woman mun be returned safe to her people within a sevenday fer th' sake of Obernewtyn."

"You think you treat us like equals but, in your deepest heart, you regard the funaga as superior. In part this is because you yourself are powerful. But this does not make the race of the funaga better than any dog or equine."

"Do you measure your followers by their mass, Sirrah?" I asked sweetly, "We Talented Misfits measure ourselves by our deeds, and surely you of all people would concede that size does not always indicate courage or cunning or even strength." I let my eyes fall momentarily to his own slender frame.

everyone seems to think of that quote as a love one, but, to plague, also means to annoy [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
"It would be like a lamb declaring to a herd of savage wolves that he was a pacifast. What do the wolves care, for he was never any danger to them!"

I reckon it's a love quote. How could it not be *giggles*
"Stupid funaga, all funaga are stupid" ~ Maruman
You gotta love the frankness of Maruman
PS: I mean the plague quote as being a love quote, not the stupid funaga one (just to make it clear)
Yeh I think it's a love quote too...like plagued by his love...I think your own interpretation of it is what makes it a good quote

"Death is known to the wildbeast. All who live, not only beasts, live with death riding on their back. But beasts do not regard it as a burden. The funaga think death is evil. It is nature. Evil exists only in life. There is so much good and evil allotted to each life, and there is much that is neither good nor bad. Death is such a thing. As for the rest, you can only weigh up how much good or bad there is and decide yourself what adds up to evil".
Sharna, Obernewtyn
ahh, the wisdom of beasts
A good hand, girl. One that must grasp many threads of destiny. A hand whose owner is at once open and true, and yet who is the keeper of terrible secrets, and a seeker of them.†- Jakoby, Ashling
Sometimes I think the dark is drawn to the light as a moth to a flame. Maybe it is the nature of all things to be pulled towards their opposites. --Elspeth, The Keeping Place. (i actually saw this one posted on a quotes site a few years ago)
this one isnt from the books but its still a favourite
"Where else in the world do you find love that lasts forever, truth, justice, honour, courage? Why do we yearn for them when there's so little evidence of them around us? Fantasy. That's why it's so popular - we want there to be more than the real."
