More quotes by 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.
Janet Morris
Generosity is never out of season.
Janet Morris
I'm just a weapon of the god.
Janet Morris
And personally, I've lost my thirst for vengeance.
Janet Morris
No ethos, pursued without thought or mercy, is ethical.
Janet Morris
Painful things are quickly forgotten.
Janet Morris
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.
Janet Morris
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
These Stepsons tread where mortals don't belong, some of us think. They seek out battle high above their station. Who knows what powers may yet take them and their mystic allies to task, bring them their comeuppance?
Janet Morris
For Tempus...was a dozen storm gods' avatar no army he sanctified could know defeat no war he fought could not be won. Combat was life to him he fought like the gods themselves.
Janet Morris
Nothing powers hate better than embarrassment.
Janet Morris
This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.
Janet Morris
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
I see all sorts of things when I'm clearing my pipes.
Janet Morris
You three have done quite enough today: all of you and your feckless, treacherous god.
Janet Morris
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
I must decide if you deserve to die.
Janet Morris
Fight for life itself and everlasting freedom of the human spirit.
Janet Morris
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
You must become like yourself.
Janet Morris
