Zitate Andrzej Sapkowski
„No. I’ve no time to waste. Winter’s coming.“
— Andrzej Sapkowski, buch The Last Wish
„Only Evil and Greater Evil exist and beyond them, in the shadows, lurks True Evil. True Evil, Geralt, is something you can barely imagine, even if you believe nothing can still surprise you. And sometimes True Evil seizes you by the throat and demands that you choose between it and another, slightly lesser, Evil.“
— Andrzej Sapkowski, buch The Last Wish
„I manage because I have to. Because I've no other way out. Because I've overcome the vanity and pride of being different, I've understood that they are a pitiful defense against being different. Because I've understood that the sun shines differently when something changes. The sun shines differently, but it will continue to shine, and jumping at it with a hoe isn't going to do anything.“
— Andrzej Sapkowski, buch The Last Wish
„People”—Geralt turned his head—“like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves.“
— Andrzej Sapkowski, buch The Last Wish
The Last Wish (1993), Context: “People," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.”
