Pride makes a man, it drives him, it is the shield wall around his reputation... Men die, they said, but reputation does not die.
Bernard CornwellBecause there could not be peace, not while two tribes shared one land. One tribe must win. Even the nailed god cannot change that truth. And I was a warrior, and in a world at war the warrior must be cruel.
Bernard CornwellLooking back, of course, it was irresponsible, mad, forlorn, idiotic, but if you don't take chances then you'll never have a winning hand, and I've no regrets.
