Bernard Cornwell quote: "Life is a jest of the Gods and there is no justice. You must..."
Life is a jest of the Gods and there is no justice. You must learn to laug? or else you'll weep yourself to death. Bernard Cornwell
But when you have order, you don't need Gods. When everything is well ordered and disciplined then nothing is unexpected. If you understand everything,' I said carefully, 'then there's no room left for magic. It's only when you're lost and frightened and in the dark that you call on the Gods, and they like us to call on them. It makes them feel powerful, and that's why they like us to live in chaos. Bernard Cornwell
Poor Uther. He believed that virtues are handed down through a man's loins! What nonsense! A child is like a calf; if the thing is born crippled you knock it smartly on the skull and serve the cow again. That's why the Gods made it such a pleasure to engender children, because so many of the little brutes have to be replaced. There's not much pleasure in the process for women, of course, but someone has to suffer andthank the Gods it's them and not us. Bernard Cornwell
Latin! The language of God! Or perhaps He speaks Hebrew? I suppose that’s more likely and it will make things rather awkward in heaven, won’t it? Will we all have to learn Hebrew? Bernard Cornwell
Bernard Cornwell quote: "Madness ends sometimes. The Gods decree it, not man."
Madness ends sometimes. The Gods decree it, not man. Bernard Cornwell
