“Your voice carries nothing. They are only words you repeat emptily. To write a thing down is to kill it. Only in the living voice can the truth be known. My brothers and I have listened to one another, passing the voice of the goddess down from generation to generation, and with every new speaking from the start, we have known what we heard to be true. These books you have? They are ink on paper. Objects. Soulless. You would be wiser not to put your faith in them.”

Cithtrin: He knew everything about money and risk and how to appear one way when you’re actually something else.
Marcus: He’d have made a good general, sounds like.
Cithrin: No. I don’t know. Maybe. He didn’t like soldiers, though. He didn’t like war. I remember he used to say that there are two ways to meet the world. You go out with a blade in your hand or else with a purse.
Marcus: Really? And here I thought there was money to be made from war.
Cithrin: There is. But only if you’re standing in exactly the right place. In the larger sense, there’s always more lost in the fight than there is won. The way he said things, it sounded like we were all that kept the swords in their scabbards. War or trade. Dagger and coin. Those were the two kinds of people.

Cithrin: You never say anything straight out. It’s all I believe this or I’ve found that. You never say, “The sun rises in the morning.” It’s always, “I think the sun rises in the morning.” It’s like you’re trying not to promise anything.
Master Kit: I’m surprised you noticed that. I have a talent for being believed, and I’ve found it to be problematic. I suppose I’ve adopted habits to soften the effect, and so I try not to assert things unless I’m certain of them. Absolutely certain, I mean. I’m often surprised by how little I’m absolutely certain of. And it encourages me to take myself lightly. I find a certain value in lightness.

Master Kit: I’m saying there is evil in the world and doubt is the weapon that guards against it.
Yardem: But if you doubt everything, how can anything be justified?
Master Kit: Tentatively. And subject to later examination. It seems to me the better question is whether there’s any virtue in committing to a permanent and unexamined certainty. I don’t believe we can say that.
Marcus: We can say that wasting good air on the question won’t get the work done any faster.
