"The Bloodguard do not sleep."
"What?"

With an effort, Covenant pulled himself into a sitting position. He peered blearily at Bannor for a moment, then muttered, "You’re already in hell.“

„When last comes to last,
I have little power:
I am merely an urn. I hold the bone-sap of myself,
and watch the marrow burn.
When last comes to last,
I have little strength:
I am only a tool. I work its work; and in its hands
I am the fool.
When last comes to last,
I have little life.
I am simply a deed: an action done while courage holds:
a seed.“
— Stephen R. Donaldson, kniha The Power that Preserves
Healer, The Power that Preserves, the third book of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever
„The heart cherishes secrets not worth the telling“
