Quotes from Firesong

“All the fear in the world, and the violence that comes from the fear, and the hatred that comes from the violence, and the lonliness that comes from the hatred. All the unhappiness, all the cruelty, it gathers like clouds in the air, and grows dark and cold and heavy, and falls like grey snow in thick layers over the land. Then the world is muffled and numb, and no one can hear each other or feel each other. Think how sad and lonely that must be.”
― William Nicholson, quote from Firesong

“Si todo lo que haces, lo haces para hacer otra cosa, ¿cuándo llegas al final de todo?

Sisi”
― William Nicholson, quote from Firesong

“-Mi, hátramaradottak, utadra bocsátunk. Sok év rabság vaskapujáról leverve a lakat. Menj hát szabadon a gyönyörű országba. Bocsáss meg nekünk, e befelhőzött világon szenvedőknek. Vezess bennünket, várj bennünket, ahogyan mi téged várunk. Még viszontlátjuk egymást.”
― William Nicholson, quote from Firesong

“No es fácil. No es nada fácil. Piensa en todo lo que quiere hacer las cosas mal. Todo el miedo del mundo, la violencia que proviene del miedo, el odio que proviene de la violencia, la soledad que proviene del odio.

Hanno Hath”
― William Nicholson, quote from Firesong

“I have no future,' said Hanno. 'I need no prophecy. You talk too much, woman.”
― William Nicholson, quote from Firesong

"Permission denied." Lucas folded his arms. "I don't make a habit of allowing enemies into my territory."

"This fugitive may be dangerous to you and your people."

Lucas smiled and it was nothing friendly. "Then the fugitive will die."

"We would prefer to capture this one alive."
