My book looks like some sort of multi-coloured hedgehog I have so many sticky note things marking pages.

He grimaced. ‘The Barghast gods are idiots. Like sixteen children locked in a small room. For days.
They’ll start eating each other next.’
‘So there are sixteen of them?’
‘What? No. That was a just a number I threw out – spirits below, Firehair, you keep taking me literally
– I’m Spax, remember? I make things up, to entertain myself. You want me to talk about my gods? Well,
they’re worse than me. They probably made themselves up.’
Widdershins nodded. ‘Could be the whole conspiracy right there, then. The inner circle I was talking
about—’
‘The conniving cabal,’ said Deadsmell.
‘Aye—’
‘The secret sneaks.’
‘Just so.’
‘The shifty-eyed sentinels of truth—’
Throatslitter’s laugh pierced the night.
‘I have had visions of the future, and each and every one of them ends up in the same place.
Don’t ask me what it means. I already know. That’s the problem with visions of the future.’

‘Against this,’ Silchas whispered, ‘not even Hood can stand. My friend.’
‘And,’ Tulas added, ‘as the whores whispered about you, a man of giant aspirations but tiny
capacities.’
‘Tell me, Prince Puke of the Eleint, shall I introduce you to this Hust blade?’
‘Best save that line for the next whore you meet, Silchas.’
‘Ha! I will!’
‘Prince Silchas of the Laughing Cock. Could be a while before we find a—’
‘Wrong, friend. We go to meet the biggest whore of them all.’
Tulas felt dried skin rip open as he laid bare his teeth. ‘T’iam. Oh, she won’t like that title, not one bit.’
‘Mother’s sake, Tulas. Irony!’
‘Ah,’ he nodded after a moment. ‘Yes. After all, if she’s a whore, then that makes all of us Soletaken
—’
‘Makes us all whorespawn!’
‘And this amuses you?’
‘It does. Besides, I can think of no better line with which to greet her.’

'I am the Shield Anvil.' I am Fener's grief. I am the world's grief. And I will hold. I will hold it all, for we are not yet done. <Itkovian>
'We are not born innocent, simply unmeasured.' <Hull Beddict>
'Because a god visits her, Fist. He comes to break her heart. Again and again.'<Nether>
'Fucking dragon.' <Fiddler>
Take my breath. But not this one, not this one. <Apsalar>
'Aye.' It's a good word. I think. More a whole attitude than a word, really. With lots of meaning in it, too. A bit of 'yes' and a bit of 'well fuck' and maybe some 'we're all in this together.' So a word to some up the Malazans. <Sunrise>

I was planning on making a little table of page numbers with bits that I likes but ended up with so much the task seems daunting.
Came across this when reading over the shake scenes this morning and thought it was kinda epic.
Quote
See him. In the eternity before dawn. When among mortals courage is at its weakest, when fear sinks talons on the threshold and will not let go. When one awakens to such loneliness as to twist a moan from the chest. But then...you feel it, breath catching. You feel it. You are not alone.
The Watch stands guard.
They would not break, would not yield - all those who stood now with him. Instead, at his sides they died, and died.

"I've had enough of your justice"
Was anyone else reminded of the classic Transformers: The Movie at this point? Where the Quintessons are sentencing random robots to the Sharkticons, and Kranix sneers 'Spare me this mockery of justice!'
Just me, then

It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.

paraphrasing
conversation between Gilk and Abrastal
"You are sending us to our deaths"
"yes I know"
"Well I just thought I would tell you" Gilk pauses "I knocked up your daughter"
Kalyth talking about Stormy and Gesler
"Up there they climbed through walls of fire and at that moment I realized that all those wild tales they told me - they were probably true."

"First Sword, we welcome the opportunity you have given us. Today, we shall be your kin. Today, we shall be your sisters and brothers."
To this, Onos T'oolan could find no words. He floundered for what seemed a long, long time. And then, from the depths of his being, there arose a strange feeling, a sense of... of recognition. "Then you shall be my kin on this day. And among my kin, am I not, at last, home?"
Only part of the whole damn book that made me cry. And that's saying a lot, considering all the other parts that should have. I have a pretty massive soft spot for Tool.

I quite liked when Shurq Elalle was talking about her first mate, who's body was so ruined that he winced with every single step he ever took, but she never heard him moan.
She said something like, it's not always heroic to face death, sometimes it's harder to face life. Well, I don't have my book, but it was something like that.
