• When the identity is realized, I as swordsman see no opponent confronting me and threatening to strike me.

• Our heroes are simple: they are brave, they tell the truth, they are good swordsmen and they are never in the long run really defeated. That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood - for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories.

• I always thought Cyrano De Bergerac was a coward. He could fight a hundred swordsmen, but he was afraid of his nose, and he was afraid of Roxanne. Jam as cowardly as anybody about facing my fears. So, you spend your you years as an artist fighting those hundred people that you happen not to fear. Then you wake up one morning and realize all this time you're afraid of your nose. That's what you're going to have to face for the rest of your life. And you don't feel very courageous. But, if you don't face it, you dry up as an artist.

• Así comenzó la guerra en el aire. Aquella noche los hombres cabalgaron sobre el torbellino y mataron y cayeron como arcángeles. El cielo hizo llover héroes sobre la tierra atónita. Sin duda, los últimos combates de la humanidad fueron los mejores. ¿Qué fue el pesado golpeteo de tus homéricos espadachines, qué fue la chirriante carga de los carros, aparte de esta veloz carrera, este choque, este vertiginoso triunfo, este precipitado barrido hacia la muerte?

• Egyptians undergo an odd personality change behind the wheel of a car. In every other setting, aggression and impatience are frowned upon. The unofficial Egyptian anthem "Bokra, Insha'allah, Malesh" (Tomorrow, God Willing, Never Mind) isn't just an excuse for laziness. In a society requiring millennial patience, it is also a social code dictating that no one make too much of a fuss about things. But put an Egyptian in the driver's seat and he shows all the calm and consideration of a hooded swordsman delivering Islamic justice.

  Nothing but Cromwell's house and Cromwell's murderous crew,
  The lovers and the dancers are beaten into the clay,
  And the tall men and the swordsmen and the horsemen where are they?

• Quentin tenía un velero obsoleto que había resucitado de entre los muertos. Tenía un espadachín psicóticamente eficaz y una enigmática reina bruja. No era la Comunidad del Anillo, pero tampoco estaba intentando salvar al mundo de Sauron, sino realizar una auditoría fiscal a un grupo de isleños pueblerinos.

• What frustrated me was the thought that with three thousand years of history someone in China, some monk in a monastery halfway up a mountain, must have developed a magic kata, a physical expression of formae. Or at least have got close enough to explain all those legendary swordsmen and their inexplicable desire to roost on the tops of bamboo trees.

• ¿Has oído hablar del templo descubierto recientemente en Sudán?". Le miré fijamente. "Sí. Soy lector habitual de National Geographic". El viejo Frankie frunció las cejas. "Maneja usted el sarcasmo, señora, tan bien como un maestro espadachín". "Vaya, gracias". Le sonreí y pestañeé. Deja de coquetear . Patrick me dio la orden en la cabeza. Sonaba medio molesto, medio divertido. No estoy coqueteando. Deja de ser mono y simpático. Una petición imposible. Siempre he sido demasiado adorable para las palabras.
