![]() ― Roger Zelazny, quote from The Great Book of Amber If he were, I believe that I would give up at this moment and pay him homage. It is fortunate that he has no designs upon the throne, or he would be occupying it right now. Although he is inconvenienced by the loss of his arm, I would not wish to fight with him either with weapons or barehanded. He has commanded armies so vast that you could watch them march by day after day and see no end to the columns. He has often journeyed from shadow to shadow, witnessing variation after variation on the same battle, with but slightly altered circumstances, in order to test his theories of warfare. ![]() Can you conceive of a millennium? A thousand years? Several of them? Can you understand a man who, for almost every day of a lifetime like that, has spent some time dwelling with weapons, tactics, strategy? All that there is of military science thunders in his head. He may have seemed an ordinary man to you – a handicapped one, at that. ![]() You do not really understand who it was we talked with in the tent that night. ![]()
