‘’I don’t see what the big deal is.‘��
‘’It’s a sword made out of your grandmothers bones, Kate.’��
I shrugged

― Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, Civil War

“It’s true what they say, that words are the true weapons. Those who fight with steel are limited to the strength of their arm, the reach of their blade, and the timing of their strike; but those who fight with persuasion know no limits �� not time, nor status, nor chance.”
― A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

“Our emotions hold more power over us than blade or poison alike. To embrace freely the entire spectrum of our emotions is to allow a multitude of Trojan horses containing hidden emotional poisons to circumvent the walls of rationalization �� walls we need to protect our trust, confidence, understanding, and self-control.”
― A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

“Then he took the sword in both hands and raised it—and Gawain’s posture took on an unmistakable grandeur.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

― Christopher Paolini, Brisingr

“The weapon of the advocate is the sword of the soldier, not the dagger of the assassin.”

― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“Now get going. You'll find a way of calm through."
"And you, Mael?"
"I'll drop in later. I've things for you to do, Withal. But for now," he faced inland, "I'm going to beat a god senseless.”
― Steven Erikson

“Poetry can be more eloquent than the most eloquent sermons, and it becomes a weapon more formidable than the sharpest of swords; whenever such a poem--which finds its correct tune and conveys the excitement of the heart--rings out, all the miserable, heaped drifts of words fly for shelter and bury themselves in ashamed silence. Whenever such a sword of poetry is drawn from its scabbard, all the false princes of words, who have set their thrones on a void, are thwarted and retreat into seclusion.”
― M. Fethullah Gulen, Speech and Power of Expression

“Whoever has the sword will have the earth.”
― Oliver North, Counterfeit Lies

“There was a sound of steel meeting steel. Devin flung a desperate look over his shoulder, saw Hewet fending off two men behind him, and looked ahead in time to see ten men in light armor ride out of the trees up ahead and drive straight for him. He almost swallowed the flute.

He threw an arm over his face, too shocked to be terrified, and waited to die.”
― Amy Bai, Sword

“The power of an idea is never to be underestimated. Many a thought has survived long after its host has ceased to be. It is the power of an idea that no shield can defend against, nor sword divide, nor poison infect. As such, we must aspire to create ideas, rather than preserve life. In a sense, this is how we achieve true immortality and live on past our time.”
― A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

“Avventurose età e benedette quelle che non seppero la spaventevole furia di queste indemoniate macchine dell'artiglieria, l'inventore delle quali io ritengo che sia nell'inferno a ricevere il guiderdone del suo diabolico ritrovato, per mezzo del quale fece sì che un ignobile e codardo braccio possa toglier la vita a un prode cavaliere.”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

“A bloody sword is a beautiful thing.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“Hot, bright heat filled him like some ecstatic poison, and Hartan's pony shied in terror as a wordless howl burst from his throat. His dripping ears were flat to his skull, fire crackled in his brown eyes, his huge sword blurred in a whirring figure eight before him, and the brigand running at him gawked in sudden panic. The raider's feet skidded in mud as he tried to brake, but it was far too late. He was face-to-face with the worst nightmare of any Norfressan, a Horse Stealer hradani in the grip of the Rage, and a thunderbolt of steel split him from crown to navel.”
― David Weber, Oath of Swords

“Yo no tengo hijos. No tengo mujer. Soy un traidor a mi gente, un renegado y ladrón desertor. No soy siquiera honrado. Mi corazón he escogido la venganza, la sangre. El rojo. Sólo soy un vengador. No necesito nada más. Solo sangre, solo espada.”
― Jordi Balaguer, La maldición de Gryal

“May I help you?�� Keegan asked, placing his hand on the hilt of his sword.

― Kathryn Fogleman, The Dragon's Son

“But we do not choose our deaths. The Norns do that at the foot of Yggdrasil and I imagined one of those three Fates holding the shears above my thread. She was ready to cut, and all that mattered now was to keep tight hold of my sword so that the winged women would take me to Valhalla's feasting-hall.”
― Bernard Cornwell, Death of Kings

“—¡¿Me buscabais?!
—Así es, Gryal Ibori.
—¡Pues aquí me tenéis! —gritó furioso, con el alma ardiente y la voz quebrada. Estaba cansado de todo y de todos. Sólo quería ver a Lorette, reunirse con ella y estar a su lado.
Y corrió hacia sus enemigos, como un león herido y rodeado, como un hombre que sólo tiembla por frío y sólo llora por amor. Su capa negra se deslizó en el viento, cual triste bandera, y Gryal cortó el aire con su espada ensangrentada.”
― Jordi Balaguer, El retorno de Gryal

― Carew Papritz, The Legacy Letters: his Wife, his Children, his Final Gift

“Uno de los tres jinetes se adelantó; portaba una recia alabarda que manejaba con una sola mano. Con ella ensartó al primer gomerio, con tanta fuerza que la punta del arma le salió por la espalda. Tal era el empuje del jinete negro que arrancó al desgraciado de su montura, como si fuera un saco de plumas, lo izó entre alaridos y continuó su carga con él clavado en el asta.”
― J.R. Plana
