Quotes by Eldon Thompson (?)

“Men fought and died, each with his own reasons, and only the gods, if gods there were, might be able to sort through the carnage. Right and wrong were shifting targets, relying heavily on where one stood. The only constant a man could truly hope to find, the only integrity, was that which he created for himself by matching deeds to words—be they kind, cruel, or something in between.”
― Eldon Thompson, The Ukinhan Wilds
