"No, I'll teach you the nasty, furtive, polite way to kill people." by Chade
nasty and polite? Is killing people polite? Anyway, the statement is interesting, though.
Chapter 5
"And tomorrow we'll do the same again. And again. Until one day you get up and find out that whatever it was didn't kill you after all." by Burrich
He overcomes it. Will I?
"But before I left his chambers that night, I walked to his hearth. Without a word, I placed the knife on the center of his mantel shelf. Actually, I drove it, blade first, into the wood of the shelf. Then I left without speaking of it or meeting his eyes. In fact, we never spoke of it.
I believe that the knife is still there."
I always love this paragraph since it indicates that Fitz still has one chance to escape from being slaved as Chade was.

"Most prisons are of our own making. A man makes his own freedom, too." by Chade.
I am afraid that I have to admit that apart from the fool, Chade would be my favorite role. Perhaps it's because he probably shares the same life experiences with Fitz and thus has sympathy on him.
Chapter 7
"But why should I mourn him?" by Fitz
I am quite curious about this statement, about whether Fitz is really sad about Chivalry's death. And this is not a thing to show off. I always think relationships, blood or not, take the both sides to recognize. Apart from Chivalry, since he is always a shade and never speaks of his own words, Shrewd is quite a cold man. He uses both Fitz and Chade as tools. Well, that's not a bad thing after all since he keeps his bargain. But does he still keep it when he sells Fitz out to Regal later? I recognize him as a king who deserves loyalty, but does the loyalty deserve human life? I doubt it.
"But youth is merciless."
