More quotes by Janet Morris
Wisdom, Niko thought as he leaned his cheek against his long-handled rake, cannot be had without price.
Janet Morris
Deception is a tactic: use it. Do whatever it takes to win.
Janet Morris
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.
Janet Morris
One man can make another's life so much better.
Janet Morris
It is hard to battle anger, for whatever it wants it pays from the soul.
Janet Morris
The universe forgives those who give until their hearts are aching and their spirits weak, and finds a way to renew all strength and cure all ills, in this world or the next, if a soul can just have faith.
Janet Morris
Learn what can, and cannot, be asked from destiny.

Janet Morris
And personally, I've lost my thirst for vengeance.
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
He loves the world so much. I agree it would be a shame to take that love away from meadow and tree, stream and sky, and all that lives in nature, and leave them lonely.
Janet Morris
To take care of the world seemed, finally, a privilege rather than a burden. The Riddler had led them to life's greatest victory. They had found a home.
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.
