Image
I thought we'd die there, quarrels in our backs, you for what you did and me for bearing witness.

Image
Generosity is never out of season.

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
Each soul has its appointed doom. How is it you dare to raise a mortal boy so high - high enough to flout the gods? Bring godhead where a man may reach out and take it? growls Enlil, and lightning splits a clear blue sky.
Janet Morris
Image
Gods have bloody hands.
Janet Morris
Image
Painful things are quickly forgotten.
Janet Morris
Image
There must be love, and understanding, to betray. Most men haven't the wit or the honor for betrayal: not to know it when they see it not the stomach to apprehend it as they do it. Most men, blind and dumb in their self-centeredness, don't betray: they merely disappoint.

Survival has its own etiquette.
Janet Morris
Image
To the death with honor, shoulder to shoulder, and no one gets closer to a Stepson than his partner.
Janet Morris
Image
Fight for life itself and everlasting freedom of the human spirit.
