Famous Quotes & Sayings

Brent Weeks

I’ll spend my life training just for the moment I have my chance at you. I’ll wait until you think I’ve forgotten today. I’ll wait until you think it was just a dumb guild rat’s threat.

I don’t care if you kill me at the same time. I’ll trade my life for yours.
