".. and that, my liege, is how I know the earth to be banana-shaped."
"This new learning amazes me. Tell me again how sheeps' bladders may

"Once I was a lamb, playing in a green field. Then
the wolves came. Now I am an eagle and I fly in a
different universe."
"And now you kill the lambs," whispered Dardalion.
"No, priest. No one pays for lambs."
