Reasons never matter, once Death comes cold and bold and takes the living by the hand. You count up your dead, every one.
Janet Morris
Image
Dreamers and dreaming dead, lots of them from neither here nor there with no chance of getting home again, lost in place and time.
Janet Morris
Image
You've been playing gods-and-witches again, that's clear.
Janet Morris
Image
Men may not believe you, my son. But you must always say the truth, when the truth holds no danger for you or your loved ones.
Janet Morris
Image
Tempus wanders eternally, bringing death to whomever loves him and being spurned by whomsoever he shall love.

If you want to write something completely unique, you will probably fail or at best write something without redeeming value. The mind works in certain patterns: the mind organizes facts in story form it is your commonality with that body of human thought that makes a good book, not its estrangement from the common values that humans share.

Janet Morris
Image

Love sees all hate is blind.
Janet Morris
Image
Gods colliding, ethos and mythos trying to combine. The Sacred Band caught up in a whirlwind not of any god's devising: he and Niko had wanted to save twenty-three pairs of fated Theban fighters. Now everything feels fated and fighting oversweeps its boundaries of time and place and plane.
Janet Morris
Image
Wisdom, Niko thought as he leaned his cheek against his long-handled rake, cannot be had without price.

Image
Deception is a tactic: use it. Do whatever it takes to win.
Janet Morris
Image
Bandara was not an easy place to return to: it could hide from the common worlds whose periphery it inhabited. But Bandara never had, in all its years, completely disappeared.
Janet Morris
Image
The universe forgives those who give until their hearts are aching and their spirits weak, and finds a way to renew all strength and cure all ills, in this world or the next, if a soul can just have faith.
