Actually the one I love the most is the one between Rake and WJ. You know the one about the river and the differences between them. I would quote it but unfortunately I have my MoI copy in Italian and I'm sure I would ever get it right if I try to translate it.

my favorite quote is when Silverfox is talking to the Imass and Krupp keeps butting in... theres a moment where she pauses and he breaks in only to be yelled at and he responds with somthing along the lines of .... im sorry resume your hesitation.

Quote

Tool appeared, carrying across his shoulders the carcass of a pronghorn antelope, which he shrugged off to thump on the ground.

Toc saw no wounds on the animal. Probably scared it to death.

'All Eres were bonecasters, Trull Sengar. For they were the first to carry the spark of awareness, the first so gifted by the spirits.'

"More than one philosopher has claimed that we ever remain children, far beneath the indurated layers that make up the armour of adulthood. Armour encumbers, restricts the body and soul within it. But it also protects. Blows are blunted. Feelings lose their edge, leaving us to suffer naught but a plague of bruises, and, after a time, bruises fade"

Haven't got page reference for it but its Ganoes in MoI. One of my favourites fromt he entire series

Just finished Memories of Ice today and this is my first post here, but one of the quotes that really stood out to me was by Itkovian late in the book when he said:

Quote

We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray it. Aye, we know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned. T'lan Imass. Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the word. It must be given freely. In abundance.
