More quotes by Janet Morris

Image
Always take responsibility for your past. It is your only collateral in life. Unless you despise yourself now, you cannot despise yourself then. Everything you did is a part of the process that brought you here. All your past is as alive and real as your so-called 'present.'
Janet Morris
Image
This is as 'alone' as I'm likely to get with you - you're not half so fetching as your daughter.
Janet Morris
Image
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
It's all right. Things as they once were will never be again, but it's all right.
Janet Morris
Image
I'm just a weapon of the god.
Janet Morris
Image
Go carefully, child of mat, where no mercy can be had, and let your faith lead you on.
Janet Morris
Image
Loyalty must be forged - to him, to his: stronger than iron, from experience, from risk - it can't be bought, or taught, or promised before the fact. Allegiance must be earned so it will hold, win or lose.
Janet Morris
Image
What is needed is never to be had without price.
Janet Morris
Image
I'm reverent from a distance.
Janet Morris
Image
Don't forget, Riddler, how I love thee. Or all we shared together. Or that this sea and all other seas can lead you back to me.
Janet Morris
Image
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
No ethos, pursued without thought or mercy, is ethical.
Janet Morris
Image
This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.
Janet Morris
Image
I don't want to be any closer to the gods than death will bring me.
Janet Morris
Image
Arrows are cheap you're expensive.
Janet Morris
Image
You count up your dead, every one. Always. Recall them, each and all - every face, every heart.
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
Men are fools who forget what really matters while time goes by.
Janet Morris
Image
It's all the same - no good without evil, no balance...no maat. If we lose one, we lose the other. It's just life, that's all.
Janet Morris
Image
Sometimes the cost of winning for all the right reasons is so great that spirits die and hearts grow cold.
