There are plenty of moments and scenes for me, however a few stand tall:-

In terms of being chilled:-

Quote

'Go to her', Paran told the Seer.
'She remembers - a brother
'So now she finds an uncle.'

Quote

Heart-breakingly brave.
But impossible.
Ah, Itkovian...

In termsof pure writing chops(and a wee bit of tearing the heart-strings):-

Quote

Rain struck her brow, stung the ragged, open gash of her wound.
She halted, looked up, to see Moon's Spawn, directly overhead...weeping down on her...
...and upon the field of corpses surrounding her, and, beyond and to the right, upon thousands of kneeling T'lan Imass.
The dead, the abandoned, a wash of deepening colours, as if in the rain the scene, so softly saturated, was growing more solid, more real.
No longer the faded tableau of a Tiste Andii's regard.
Life, drawn short, to sharpen every detail, flush every colour, to make every moment an ache.
And she could hold back no longer. Whiskeyjack. My love.

In terms of something that has affected me deeply in my own life:-

Quote

So I did my young lover. We are contrary creatures, us humans, but that isn't something we need be afraid of, or even much troubled by. And if you make a list of those people who worship consistency, you'll find they're one and all tyrants, or would-be tyrants. Ruling over thousands, or over a husband or a wife, or some cowering child. Never fear contradiction, Cutter, it is the very heart of diversity.

Just a couple of moments and pieces of writing that stand out for me - and yes Memories of Ice is my fave...
