讓在下邪惡一下吧﹐自己記這些東西太麻煩了﹐轉別人收集的東西就方便多了。
以下這些東西是在一個羅蘋·荷布/麥耿·林德霍的同好網站上找的然後在下再從中挑出在下喜歡的﹐而且沒被別人說過得。
雖然其中有些已經翻譯成中文了﹐但去把它們找出來就違反在下避免麻煩的初衷了﹐所以容忍在下吧..........

《弄臣使命》
"Little Brother, do not treat me as if I am already dead, or dying. If you see me that way, then I would rather truly be dead. You steal the now of my life away, when you constantly fear that tomorrow will bring my death. Your fears clutch cold at me and snatch all my pleasure in the day's warmth from me."
-- Nighteyes
"Death is always less painfull and easier than life! You speak true. And yet we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make. Am I right?"
-- the Fool

"A storm of gems they were.
Scaled wings jewel-like glittered.
Eyes flaming, wings fanning
The dragons came.
Too flashing bright for memory to hold.
The promise of a thousand songs fulfilled.
Claws shredding, jaws devouring
The King returned. "
-- "Verity's Reckoning" by Starling Birdsong
《弄臣命运》
"No. No wolf wastes time on vengeance, and that is what this is. Vengeance, pure and simple. When people look most vicious, what you are seeing is not their animal side. It is the savagery that only humans can muster. When you see me loyal to my family, then you see the wolf."
-- Fitz
"No. Dragons are no better than humans. They are little different at all from men. They will hold up a mirror to humanity's selfishness."
-- the Fool
