That doesn't mean you attack all out like *******did. See where it got him? It does mean defense should only be temporary...just until you can destroy your opponent. End of sermon.

Speaker and book (hope y'all don't mind me jumping in with one. Looks like Tory didn't get around to posting another.)

Works for me. Unfortunately, I don't recognize the quote. I eagerly await the answer.

[MidasKnight]

Sounds like someone talking to Rhenn in the first Imager book while teaching him how to fight. ... but that's just an incomplete guess to help prod somebody else's memory.

[Mythbhavd]

Nope. It's not in the imager series.

[Mythbhavd]

Ok...hint time. It's a SF book and part of a series.

[Mythbhavd]

Ok...this is Jimjoy Wright in Ecolitan Operation.

Let's try a different one:

...tradition is often appropriate. When the cost to a land is so high, and so many still mourn, tradition merely for the sake of tradition is inappropriate. We can and will celebrate when we return **** to its former greatness.

Who is speaking to whom and what is being restored?

[MidasKnight]

Oh man, I've read this quote and am still coming up blank!!

Thinking ...

[Mythbhavd]

Time for a hint?

[MidasKnight]

That and more participants.

[hariseldon]

scion of cyador? sounds like recluce, maybe the one in the series where the angels meet the decrepit cyad forces, sorry cannot recall the title of the book, and looking it up feels like cheating

[MidasKnight]

Well, that would be The Chaos Balance.

[CodeBlower]

I don't consider looking it up "cheating" .. unless you're using the search-function on your eBook reader.

[MidasKnight]

Agreed.

Manually hunting through books is perfectly acceptable.

[Mythbhavd]

Oops! Sorry, not a recluse book

[Gil galad]

Sounds like Mykella in Lady Protector?

[Mythbhavd]

You got it. Your turn

[Gil galad]

Book and speaker:
"Damn! I'd just like to run away...anywhere. Anywhere," she repeated grimly. "Anywhere!"

[EdgarAllanPwned]

Speaker: Anna Marshal
Book: Soprano Sorceress

[Gil galad]

EdgarAllanPwned you have the floor.

[EdgarAllanPwned]

"All that I knew, and, though I could not say how, I accepted that knowledge, for I was of X, and would always be so, in whatever corner of the universe I found myself"

Speaker, X, and Book.

[EdgarAllanPwned]

It's been a week so I'll give a clue. Its from a sci-fi series, not a stand alone book.

[Gil galad]

Is it Gerswin in The Forever Hero?

[EdgarAllanPwned]

Close, but no.
