Zitate R. Scott Bakker
„Die Welt ist ein Kreis, der so viele Mittelpunkte wie Bewohner hat.“
— R. Scott Bakker
The Darkness That Comes Before
„The thoughts of all men arise from the darkness. If you are the movement of your soul, and the cause of that movement precedes you, then how could you ever call your thoughts your own? How could you be anything other than a slave to the darkness that comes before?“
— R. Scott Bakker
The Darkness That Comes Before
„Faith is the truth of passion. Since no passion is more true than another, faith is the truth of nothing.“
— R. Scott Bakker
The Darkness That Comes Before
„I remeber asking a wise man, once... 'Why do Men fear the dark?'... 'Because darkness' he told me, 'is ignorance made visable.' 'And do Men despise ignorance?' I asked. 'No,' he said, 'they prize it above all things--all things!--but only so long as it remains invisible.“

The Judging Eye
„Darkness shields as much as it threatens.“

The Judging Eye
„Love is lust made meaningful. Hope is hunger made human.“

The Warrior Prophet
„Do not mistake me, Inrithi. In this much Conphas is right. You are all staggering drunks to me. Boys who would play at war when you should kennel with your mothers. You know nothing of war. War is dark. Black as pitch. It is not a God. It does not laugh or weep. It rewards neither skill not daring. It is not a trial of souls, nor the measure of wills. Even less is it a tool, a means to some womanish end. It is merely the place where the iron bones of the earth meet the hollow bones of men and break them.
You have offered me war, and I have accepted. Nothing more. I will not regret your losses. I will not bow my head before your funeral pyres. I will not rejoice at your triumphs. But I have taken the wager. I will suffer with you. I will put Fanim to the sword, and drive their wives and children to the slaughter. And when I sleep, I will dream of their lamentations and be glad of heart.“
— R. Scott Bakker
The Darkness That Comes Before
„There’s faith that knows itself as faith, Proyas, and there’s faith that confuses itself for knowledge. The first embraces uncertainty, acknowledges the mysteriousness of the God. It begets compassion and tolerance. Who can entirely condemn when they’re not entirely certain they’re in the right? But the second, Proyas, the second embraces certainty and only pays lip service to the God’s mystery. It begets intolerance, hatred, violence.“
