"it seems that it was his idea to allow Easterners to buy titles in the Jhereg." "Now that's interesting," I said. "So I have him to thank for my father being able to squander the profits from forty years of work in order to be spat upon as a Jhereg, in addition to being spat upon as an Easterner. I'll have to find some way to thank him for that."
Steven Brust, Jhereg
When Kragar returned with the drawings we spent a whole day going over them and coming up with stupid ideas. We were flatly unable to think up an intelligent one. We put the whole thing off for a day and tried again with the same results. Finally Kragar said, “Look, boss, the idea of breaking into an Athyra’s keep is stupid. Naturally, any idea for how to do it is also going to be stupid.” I said, “Ummm, yeah.” “So just close your eyes and pick one.” “Right,” I said. And that’s pretty much what I did. We spent a few hours polishing it down to the point of least possible idiocy

The idea being that if one doesn’t know how to teleport, one doesn’t belong there. This is almost true, except that they don’t require their servants to know how to teleport. There is almost always a door or two for deliveries of those goods the wizards and sorcerers of the keep consider too demeaning to fetch for themselves. Trivial things such as food, drink, and assassins.

"You understand that you can never go back to the palace, don't you?" "Yes, sir. I've set fire to my bridge, as they say." "You haven't just set it on fire. You've cut it from the bank and dumped it down the gorge."
Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, Dragon Wing
“Oh that. It’s nothing. It’s just the scar from where I got shot.” “You got shot!” “It was nothing.” “Nothing! Patrick, there’s a bullet scar over your spine!” “It’s fine. The doctors were wrong when they said that I wouldn’t walk again. Everything is fine. Now go to sleep.” “What?”

“Micum, you and Rieser can wait for us here. The farm should be within a mile of here.” He looked up at the sun; it was coming to midafternoon now. “I think we have time to find it, just in case we end up having to use the tunnel. Alec?” “I think it was—” He scanned the horizon. “Northish.” “Northish?” Rieser looked less than impressed. “Don’t worry. He has a fine sense of direction,” said Seregil, but as soon as Rieser looked away Seregil raised a brow at Alec. Northish?

“Cheating to get what you want, ignoring the rules, and defying authority. And to think some people are worried about the next generation.”

It’s pretty straightforward,” I told him. “We go to where the spellsingers are—killing or incapacitating any goblins or evil elves before they can do the same to us—we free Ronan and the kids, and if we’re really lucky, we get out of here with all of our pieces and parts intact.” Piaras looked down at me and blinked. “This is how seekers typically work?” “Nope, this time I have a plan.” “Good. What is it?” “I just told you.” “That’s it?” “I like to keep it simple. You got a better way to get it done?”
Lisa Shearin, Raine Benares
So ... out. Stretch. Check my weapons. Stretch again. Look around. Do not make any rustling noises by getting out the floor plan, because you have it memorized. You do have it memorized, don’t you? Think now—this is either that room or that room. Either way, the door lets out into a hall that leads ... don’t tell me now ... oh, yes. Good. Shit. What, by all the gods of your ancestors, are you doing here, anyway? Oh, yeah: money. Crap.

His honor guard closed on me, and I did something I had been wanting to do for several weeks: I turned and ran. My plan at that point was to run as fast as I could and as far as I could and not stop until I reached Adrilankha, and if I happened to be going in the wrong direction, well, okay, so maybe I'd make a bit of a detour; they say the world is round, after all.

I couldn’t be bonded to just any old stone of cataclysmic power. Mine had lawyers.

Of course I'm talking to myself. Who else can I trust?

“Sorry,” he said. “Nerves. I, uh… Harry, I’m sorry I ran away like that.” “Took cover,” I provided. “In the action business, when you don’t want to say you ran like a mouse, you call it ‘taking cover.’ It’s more heroic.” “Right,” Butters said, flushing. “I took cover.” “It’s fun, taking cover,” I said. “I take cover all the time.”
Jim Butcher, Dead Beat
So I didn’t have a plan. I did, as I stood there, start to get seeds of what might, sometime, become a vague step generally in the direction of an intention. I may be stating that too strongly.
