Savor the little moments, son, that's my advice. They're what life is. All the little things that happen while you're waiting for something else.

People love to see death. It reminds them that however mean, however low, however horrible their lives become… at least they have one.

Sometimes it doesn't matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it.

There was no such thing as luck. Luck was a word idiots used to explain the consequences of their own rashness, and selfishness, and stupidity. More often than not bad luck meant bad plans.

The man is a monster. The worst I have ever seen, in fact, since I last looked in the mirror. The truth? I am rotting too. I am buried alive, and already rotting. If I was not such a coward I would kill myself, but I am, and so I must content myself with killing others in the hope that one day, if I can only wade deep enough in blood, I will come out clean.

'The Blade Itself' was my first book. Probably I should've tried a few short stories first, but for some reason I decided to begin with Everest.

Strange, how the best moments of our lives we scarcely notice except in looking back.
