...wizard's Fifth Rule: Mind What People Do,

After That, I Came Back Every Year. Everyone Said, 'well, When You Retire You Can Move There.' But I Said, 'why Should I Live My Whole Life Where I Don't Want To Be.'

The Second Rule Is That The Greatest Harm Can Result From The Best Intentions. It Sounds A Paradox, But Kindness And Good Intentions Can Be An Insidious Path To Destruction. Sometimes Doing What Seems Right Is Wrong, And Can Cause Harm. The Only Counter To It Is Knowledge, Wisdom, Forethought, And Understanding The First Rule. Even Then, That Is Not Always Enough.

Once Committed To Fight, Cut. Everything Else Is Secondary. Cut. That Is Your Duty, Your Purpose, Your Hunger. There Is No Rule More Important, No Commitment That Overrides That One. Cut. Cut From The Void, Not From Bewilderment. Cut The Enemy As Quickly And Directly As Possible. Cut Decisively, Resolutely. Cut Into The Enemy’s Strength. Flow Through The Gaps In His Guard. Cut Him. Cut Him Down Utterly. Don’t Allow Him A Breath. Crush Him. Cut Him Without Mercy To The Depths Of His Spirit." -richard Rahl

I've Always Said Fantasy Is Sort Of 'stealth Philosophy'.

Faith And Feelings Are The Warm Marrow Of Evil. Unlike Reason, Faith And Feelings Provide No Boundary To Limit Any Delusion, Any Whim. They Are Virulent Poison, Giving The Numbing Illusion Of Moral Sanction To Every Depravity Ever Hatched. Faith And Feelings Are The Darkness To Reason’s Light. Reason Is The Very Substance Of Truth Itself. The Glory That Is Life Is Wholly Embraced Through Reason. In Rejecting It, In Rejecting Reason, One Embraces Death.
