Steven Erikson Soldier Quotations

What makes a Malazan soldier so dangerous? They’re allowed to think.

It is one thing to lead by example with half a dozen soldiers at your back. It is wholly another with ten thousand.

I mean the only thing us dead soldiers got in common is that none of us was good enough or lucky enough to survive the fight. We're a host of failures.

Soldiers are issued armour for their flesh and bones, but they must fashion their own for their souls. Piece by piece. (Itkovian)
