# Quote — Jack Vance, Madouc

> “Poor Pymfyd! Your world is built of fear and dread! As for me, I have no time for such emotions.”
>
> Pymfyd spoke in an even voice. “You are a royal princess and I may not call you a witless little fool, even should the thought cross my mind.”
>
> Madouc turned him a sad blue-eyed glance. “So that, after all, is your concept of me.”
>
> “I will say only this: persons who fear nothing are soon dead.”
