One to a customer was the rule: one body; one mind; one swing through life. - Tempus

There must be a corps that will battle for righteousness, for there are endless battalions who serve unrighteousness.

To the death with honor, shoulder to shoulder, and no one gets closer to a Stepson than his partner.

When I write what publishers call 'fantasy' I am writing in what I think is the most important tradition of fiction: starting with Homer and up through Shakespeare and Milton, the most important themes to tackle are those of the mythopoeic domain, tales of the body and mind seen through a temperament and a cosmos divorced from current reality so what is said can be more clear.

Men live, and then they die. It is the quality of the process of living which matters, that and that alone.

Live to fight on other days.

I see ranks ready for battle, stretching out. Five, six horses across, ranks in formation. Endlessly.
