The heavens listen to what is said on these cobbles. Laws of man and nature come together here. Here you must be firm. Here you must be true.
Janet Morris
Image
Wars don't bring lasting peace, only lasting death.
Janet Morris
Image
Love sees all hate is blind.
Janet Morris
Image
The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
Janet Morris
Image
This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.
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
And personally, I've lost my thirst for vengeance.
Janet Morris
Image
It is hard to battle anger, for whatever it wants it pays from the soul.
Janet Morris
Image
Sometimes the cost of winning for all the right reasons is so great that spirits die and hearts grow cold.
