“Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.”

“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.”

“Lucy had to guard her reputation - her reputation for sanity - the way that a woman a hundred years before would have had to guard her reputation for virtue.”

“Looking up, he met her startled gaze. 'Let down your guard, Honor. Let me in. Let me love you.' He kissed her lips, tasted the sweetness of her breath. 'Trust me. I won't ever 'urt you.”

“I want to kill this degenerate bastard brother of yours. But I am not selfish, I do not want to deprive you of that honor.”

“Instead of blaming us, find your true enemy. And, where the offence is, there let the great axe fall.”
