The Arishok: Your collusion in the Chantry has insured that I am hated whatever I do.
How much pain will you allow to selfishly deny the Qun?

"The strong man, naturally, will not admit his cowardice, but will try to invent some other lie, and may thus give 
his opponent the chance to refute him. And in other cases, speaking as the art dictates will take similar forms." 
Plato, Phaedrus, 273b [Socrates; No doubt you’ve churned through Tisias' book.... — Of course.]

"But all these parts of oratory succeed according as they are delivered. Delivery, I say, has the sole and supreme power 
in oratory; without it, a speaker of the highest mental capacity can be held in no esteem; while one of moderate abilities, 
with this qualification, may surpass even those of the highest talent. To this Demosthenes is said to have assigned 
the first place, when he was asked what was the chief requisite in eloquence; to this the second, and to this the third." 

[Sed haec omnia perinde sunt, ut aguntur. Actio, inquam, in dicendo una dominatur; sine hac summus orator esse in 
numero nullo potest, mediocris hac instructus summos saepe superare. Huic primas dedisse Demosthenes dicitur, 
cum rogaretur, quid in dicendo esset primum; huic secundas, huic tertias.]
M. Tullius Cicero, De Oratore, Book III, Chapter LVI, #213 [Plutarch: Demosthenes answered, — Action, Action, Action.]
