You can go back to blacksmithing in Hintindar and live a quiet happy life. Do me a favor and marry some pretty farm girl and train your son to beat the crap out of imperial knights."" Sure, " Hadrian told him. "And with any luck he'll make friends with a cynical burglar who'll do nothing but torment him. Michael J. Sullivan
About This Quote

The context of this quote is unclear. Perhaps Hadrian was suggesting that there were a few paths a person might take in life, and he was searching for a new one. Perhaps he was saying he had made up his mind to become a blacksmith, and the only way to do so was to marry a farm girl and have a child who would grow up to be a warrior. Or perhaps he was saying that as much as he wanted to live as an honest farmer, he had made up his mind that he would become a blacksmith, and hoped his son would be as successful as his father.
