Book: Three in the Sand

Great and grandiose things happen just by chance, by accident, out of thoughtlessness, out of anger, rarely - as planned.

Is Boromir really right that we do everything for the sake of women, whether we admit it or not?

Everything in the world is not real. Even friends. Only real enemies, always.

It is not the strength of muscles that wins, but the power of the mind.

Again, the one who has more power is right. Of course, you will do only good, and evil will happen in passing; when the forest is cut down, the chips fly. And why pay attention to little people when you care for the whole wide world?

A person gets used to everything, he gets used to it! The gods created a person who gets used to it right away. Apparently, they have a very difficult life ahead of them.

If we think, we'll go crazy. In many ways, thinking is harmful. Extremely smart people don't live long. We have to go at random.

A wise man values knowledge, not gold. Knowledge is gold, and power, and magic and power... and much more.

The wise know that if you plan to complete a task in a month, put two, if you plan to cross two rivers, then you will have to cross five, if you think to get by with one tooth, then they will knock out your jaw... Everyone says that if he had known that it would be so difficult, I wouldn’t even undertake it... Fortunately, man is not given the ability to see the future.

I have lived a long life, I know that the greatest evil comes from those who row not for themselves, but for others.

Each tribe has its own concepts of good and evil.

The gods know that he is a weakling, but what kind of oaths can a weakling take?

- When the gods sleep.

It is impossible to create anything better than what the gods created, so any change is for the worse.
