“Only death can finish the fight, everything else only interrupts the fighting.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski

“Everyone has some kind of debt. Such is life. Debts and liabilities, obligations, gratitude, payments, doing something for someone. Or perhaps for ourselves? For in fact we are always paying ourselves back and not someone else. Each time we are indebted we pay off the debt to ourselves. In each of us lies a creditor and a debtor at once and the art is for the reckoning to tally inside us. We enter the world as a minute part of the life we are given, and from then on we are ever paying off debts, To ourselves. For ourselves. In order for the final reckoning to tally.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Baptism of Fire

“- Знаешь, Цири, что даёт человеку университетское образование?
- Нет. Что?
- Умение пользоваться источниками.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Wieża Jaskółki

“- Кто это был, Геральт?
- Друг. Мне его будет недоставать.
- Он был человеком?
- Он был воплощением человечности.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Pani Jeziora

“Night and day the streets resounded with music, song, and the clinking of chalices and tankards, for it is well known that nothing is such thirsty work as the acquisition of knowledge.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Blood of Elves

“Don’t mistake the stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski

“The changeability of the world is, as it happens, the only thesis in this treatise you can agree with.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“It is you humans who hate anything that differs from you, be it only by the shape of its ears. That's why you took our land from us, drove us from our homes, forced us into the savage mountains.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“Humans delude themselves that they are
masters of the world, but when faced with the majority of predators on their terms, in their environments, the average human has just enough time to reconsider such thoughts before turning into a pile of entrails."
- Vesemir, The World of The Witcher”
― Marcin Batylda, The World of the Witcher: Video Game Compendium

“Mistrust regarding me?'
'Regarding the world, Ciri. A world in which a deceptive appearance dons the mask of truth to pull the wool over the eyes of another truth - a false one, incidentally, which also tries to deceive.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Wieża Jaskółki

“I manage. I manage because I have to. Because I've no other way out. Because I've overcome the vanity and pride defense against being different. Because I've understood that the sun shines differently when something changes. The sun shines differently, but it will continue to shine,”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Complete Witcher

“You don't believe in it, you say. Well you're right, in a way. Only Evil and Greater Evil exist and beyond them, in the shadows, lurks True Evil. True Evil, Geralt, is something you can barely imagine, even if you believe nothing can still surprise you. And sometimes, True Evil seizes you by the throat and demands you choose between it and another, slightly lesser, Evil.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“I don't care a shit about their time. What have I done to them?" groaned Dandelion. "What wrong have I done them?"
"Think carefully," said the white-haired elf, approaching without a sound, "and maybe you can answer the question yourself.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“- Не будь циником.
- Почему? Цинизм, говорят, доказывает наличие интеллекта.
- Неправда. Цинизм, при всём своём интеллектуальном обрамлении, отвратительно неискреннен. Я не переношу никаких неискренностей.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Pani Jeziora

“С любовью, - медленно проговорила Фрингилья, - всё обстоит так же, как с почечными коликами. Пока не схватит, даже не представляешь себе, что это такое. А когда об этом рассказывают - не веришь.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Pani Jeziora

“But bear in mind you are not alone. You have a gravely sick woman on your shoulders and this brat..."
Ciri, who was trying to clean her dung-smeared boot on a ladder rung, raised her head.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Blood of Elves

“As I said, your view on religion is known to me, it’s never particularly bothered me and, no doubt, it won’t bother me in the future. I’m not a fanatic. You’ve a right to believe that we’re governed by Nature and the Force hidden within her. You can think that the gods, including my Melitele, are merely a personification of this power invented for simpletons so they can understand it better, accept its existence. According to you, that power is blind. But for me, Geralt, faith allows you to expect what my goddess personifies from nature: order, law, goodness. And hope.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“—El mal es el mal, Stregobor —afirmó serio el brujo mientras se levantaba��. Menor, mayor, mediano, es igual, las proporciones son convenidas y las fronteras borrosas. No soy un santo ermitaño, no siempre he obrado bien. Pero si tengo que elegir entre un mal y otro, prefiero no elegir en absoluto”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher

“El "Mal menor" existe, pero no podemos elegirlo nosotros solos, el "Mal mayor" consigue imponernos tal eleccion queramos o no.”
― Andrej Sapkowski

“Hope. That things renew themselves and won’t stop doing so.��
“Is that all?��
“That was enough”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“La medianoche se acerca, el fuego se marchita. Me quedaré un rato todavía, siempre me salen mejor las rimas junto a un fuego que se apaga.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, El último deseo / La espada del destino

“En mis tiempos, los hechiceros vivían en torres, leían libros de ciencia y removían los crisoles con la badila.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski

“The exception, as ever, was the children. Freed from the constraints of silence which had been enforced during the bard's performance, the children dashed into the woods with wild cries, and enthusiastically immersed themselves in a game whose rules were incomprehensible to all those who had bidden farewell to the happy years of childhood. Children of elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, half-elves, quarter-elves and toddlers of mysterious provenance neither knew nor recognised racial or social divisions. At least, not yet.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Blood of Elves

“Geralt knew that, in moments like this, the enchantress’s telepathic abilities were sharpened and very powerful, so he thought about beautiful matters and beautiful things. About things which would give her joy. About the exploding brightness of the sunrise. About fog suspended over a mountain lake at dawn. About crystal waterfalls, with salmon leaping up them, gleaming as though made of solid silver. About warm drops of rain hitting burdock leaves, heavy with dew.
He thought for her and Yennefer smiled, listening to his thoughts. The smile quivered on her cheek along with the crescent shadows of her eyelashes.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Coś więcej

“It is easy to kill with a bow, girl. How easy it is to release the bowstring and think, it is not I, not I, it is the arrow. The blood of that boy is not on my hands. The arrow killed him, not I. But the arrow does not dream anything in the night.”
― Andrej Sapkowski

“I manage because I have to. Because I’ve no other way out. Because I’ve overcome the vanity and pride of being different. I’ve understood that they are a pitiful defence against being different. Because I’ve understood that the sun shines differently when something changes, but I’m not the axis of those changes. The sun shines differently, but it will continue to shine, and jumping at it with a hoe isn’t going to do anything. We’ve got to accept facts, elf. That’s what we’ve got to learn.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“I’m Geralt of Rivia. A witcher.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“Not only is it the first one I’ve seen up close but it’s none other than the famous White Wolf. I’ve heard about you.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“People�� - Geralt turned his head - “like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski

“Todos los brujos llevan dos espadas. Algunos malintencionados afirman que la de plata es para los monstruos y la de acero para los seres humanos. Eso es falso, por supuesto. Hay monstruos a los que sólo se puede dominar con la espada de plata, pero los hay también para los que el acero es mortal.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish
