Le 13ème Guerrier (1999)

Partager la citation sur facebook Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.

Partager la citation sur facebook Across seas of monsters and forests of demons we traveled. Praise be to Allah, the Merciful and Compassionate. May His blessing be upon pagan men who loved other Gods, who shared their food, and shed their blood. That His servant, Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan, might become a man, and a useful servant of God.

Herger the Joyous: How? How did you learn our language?
Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: I listened!

Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: Cow urine?
Olga: Boiled down.
