“No mortal man could frighten him, no more than the darkness could, nor the bones of his soul, the grey and grisly bones of his soul.”

“A man can own a woman or a man can own a knife, but no man can own both. Every little girl learns that from her mother.”

“A man might befriend a wolf, even break a wolf, but no man could truly tame a wolf.”

“But what a man can do and what a man will do are two different things, he knew.”

“Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what's on the other side?”

“There is a savage beast in every man, and when you hand that man a sword or spear and send him forth to war, the beast stirs.”
