Your Majesty, ” Durzo said gravely. “A man of your stature’s cursing vocabulary ought to extend beyond a tedious reiteration of the excreta that fills the void between his ears.” - Durzo Blint

About This Quote

Durzo Blint, a character in The Blade Itself, has a short and to the point vocabulary. He is a very smart man, and he knows just how powerful his words are. He uses them not only to get what he wants but also to intimidate people into doing what he wants. He believes that if people know what you are capable of, they will be afraid of you and will do what you say.
