This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.
Janet Morris
Image
Use him wisely. Few have been given such a weapon by the gods or Fates before.

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
