Book: No time for dragons

And why are these men any words in the first place looking for confirmation of their desires? And then - someone else will and someone else's opinion?

Fight and die like a man.
Empty and incoherent words. They are good to listen when they sound off the screen, they are well read in books, to admire and tremble with someone else's courage; but when all this is converted directly to you...

All absorbed you, reflected in memory, like in a distorting mirror that collects the burning heat of the sun.

The enemy can be defeated in different ways. You can kill him. If you have the strength... But you can understand the intentions of the enemy - and kill them.

Say what you will, each of us secretly thinks of himself - say, I did not appreciate, did not understand I much higher and better than all of them, but that's due to all sorts of machinations can't turn as it should, and then I would show everyone... it is not Surprising that flattery is one of the strongest human weapons.

When the woman see only painted a pretty fool - easier...

Because you can survive anything if you're not softened the young lady. Up after any humiliation. To do everything to win.
