… please Lady… Do not speak of it. I was young and foolish.” “You most certainly were.” “You are cruel, Evanna.
DARREN SHAN… please Lady… Do not speak of it. I was young and foolish.” “You most certainly were.” “You are cruel, Evanna.
DARREN SHANUnderneath me, Sam Grest – who’d been my friend and saved my life – lay perfectly still and slipped further and further into the final sleep of an unfair and horrible death.
DARREN SHANShe was a beautiful woman.” Gavner sighed, tracing the outline of one of the elephants. “She just had very bad taste in underwear …” “And in boyfriends,” I added impishly. Mr. Crepsley burst into laughter at that
DARREN SHANBut in life we don’t usually get to choose the time of our defining moments. We just have to stand and face them when they come, no matter what sort of a state we’re in.
DARREN SHANI mean, seriously, what lady of taste could resist a shiny green head of hair like mine?
DARREN SHANDestiny’s what you make of it. You have to face whatever life throws at you.
DARREN SHANI’d like to do something to help the worst afflicted, but I can’t. It’s not possible to save everybody. Even heroes have their all-too-human limits.
DARREN SHANThe world won’t end with a bang or a whimper. It’ll end with the death screams of a thousand demons and a defiant, carefree, savage, wolfen howl.
DARREN SHANWe all make basic assumptions about things in life, but sometimes those assumptions are WRONG. We must never trust in what we assume, only in what we KNOW.
DARREN SHANAlas, that knowledge comes too late for most would-be-suicides and they die with regret. Very few are offered the chance that you have been handed.
DARREN SHANBetter not to start down a wrong path at all than head down it in the hope of making a detour when something better came along.
DARREN SHANI might have to drink the blood of animals to stay alive, but I would never feast on one of my own kind, no matter what Mr.Crepsley said, or hows much my belly growled.
DARREN SHANWhat use was money if you didn’t have the time to enjoy it?
DARREN SHANsometimes, in pursuit of a greater peace, a man must stand by and lets those he loves suffer the injustices of men ho cares only about their own beliefs and nothing about the faith or feelings of others– even when it pains him to the very core of his spirit
DARREN SHANTo be a druid is to embrace death, dance with it a while, and finally fall prey to it. That is why we’ll never rule this world. We have the power to bend all men to our whim, but are forever pushing ourselves further,trying to fly higher…and falling
DARREN SHANNo, thats not how it happened… Mr crepsley dropped. He was impaled on the stakes. He died. And it was awful… His cries as he writhed there, bleeding and dying, burning and screaming, will stay with me till I die. Maybe I’ll even carry them with me after I go.
