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

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.

Image
Now the Fates are here on the beach, three shadows blacker than black, walking through the dunes and looking for their own. Just shadows, lamb-white hands beneath black robes spun of tears, glide among the celebrants on this night wherein the spirits of Thebes have found a home, if serendipitously.

Gods have bloody hands.
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
Die never for a god, Nikodemos who should know better - not your soldiers' god, nor any other.
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.

Gods are nothing without their worshipers they act on the affairs and the passions of men.
Janet Morris

Fight for life itself and everlasting freedom of the human spirit.
Janet Morris
Image
It is hard to battle anger, for whatever it wants it pays from the soul.
Janet Morris
Image
Something is going on everywhere, most of which no one understands.

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.

What would the world be without him, and those like him?
