Zitate R. Scott Bakker
„Faith is the truth of passion. Since no passion is more true than another, faith is the truth of nothing.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Darkness That Comes Before
Quelle: The Darkness That Comes Before
„Doubt begets understanding, and understanding begets compassion. Verily, it is conviction that kills.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Thousandfold Thought
Quelle: The Thousandfold Thought
„This is the problem of all great revelations: their significance so often exceeds the frame of our comprehension. We understand only after, always after. Not simply when it is too late, but precisely because it is too late.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Darkness That Comes Before

„History. Language. Passion. Custom. All these things determine what men say, think, and do. These are the hidden puppet-strings from which all men hang.“

„Love is lust made meaningful. Hope is hunger made human.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Warrior Prophet
Ajencis, The Third Analytic of Men
Quelle: The Warrior Prophet (2005)
„A beggar’s mistake harms no one but the beggar. A king’s mistake, however, harms everyone but the king. Too often, the measure of power lies not in the number who obey your will, but in the number who suffer your stupidity.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Judging Eye
TRIAMIS I, JOURNALS AND DIALOGUES
Quelle: The Judging Eye (2009)
„The bondage we are born into is the bondage we cannot see. Verily, freedom is little more than the ignorance of tyranny. Live long enough, and you will see: Men resent not the whip so much as the hand that wields it.“
TRIAMIS I, JOURNALS AND DIALOGUES
The White Luck Warrior (2011)
„Every monumental work of the State is measured by cubits. Every cubit is measured by the length of the Aspect-Emperor’s arm. And the Aspect-Emperor’s arm, they say, stands beyond measure. But I say the Aspect-Emperor’s arm is measured by the length of a cubit, and that all cubits are measured by the works of the State. Not even the All stands beyond measure, for it is more than what lies within it, and “more” is a kind of measure. Even the God has His cubits.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Warrior Prophet
IMPARRHAS, PSÜKALOGUES
The Warrior Prophet (2005)
„If it is only after that we understand what has come before, then we understand nothing. Thus we shall define the soul as follows: that which precedes everything.“

„I tell you, guilt dwells nowhere but in the eyes of the accuser. This men know even as they deny it, which is why they so often make murder their absolution. The truth of crime lies not with the victim but with the witness.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Thousandfold Thought
HATATIAN, EXHORTATIONS
The Thousandfold Thought (2006)
„The world is only as deep as we can see. This is why fools think themselves profound. This is why terror is the passion of revelation.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Judging Eye
AJENCIS, THE THIRD ANALYTIC OF MEN
The Judging Eye (2009)
„If the world is a game whose rules are written by the God, and sorcerers are those who cheat and cheat, then who has written the rules of sorcery?“

The Darkness That Comes Before (2004)
„To indulge it is to breed it. To punish it is to feed it. Madness knows no bridle but the knife.“
— R. Scott Bakker, buch The Thousandfold Thought
SCYLVENDI PROVERB
The Thousandfold Thought (2006)
„Any fool can see the limits of seeing, but not even the wisest know the limits of knowing. Thus is ignorance rendered invisible, and are all Men made fools.“
