Cosca raised his brows.
‘Honour, eh?
What the hell is that anyway? Every man thinks it’s something different.
You can’t drink it.
You can’t fuck it.
The more of it you have the less good it does you, and if you’ve got none at all you don’t miss it.’
He shook his head.
‘But some men think
it’s the best thing in the world.’
- Mercenary Captain Cosca, page 261 in “Before They Are Hanged”, book 2 in the “First Law Trilogy” by Joe Abercrombie.

This is of course not the way it’s written in the book itself. There has been some MAJOR tweaking going on here in terms of which words are in italic and which ones are heavily emphasized with bigger letters (or both). I don’t know whether or not it’s better this way, but I did learn a thing or two about WordPress by doing it.
Btw, I am loving this book so far. It’s some of the best shit I’ve read in a long, long time. Expect a glowing review in the next few days.
