Gods have bloody hands.
Janet Morris
Image
So well do I love you, I go to my god singing your praises. When I meet my father, I will tell him I fought beside you.

All gods are tricksters, and war gods worst of any.
Janet Morris
Image
Choose life over death, Niko, when a choice can be made that puts no soul in jeopardy.
Janet Morris
Image
It was his soul's freedom that was in question. And that question was whether freedom was worth the price when it meant shirking the responsibilities of honor.
Janet Morris
Image
Everything that anyone respects is what men naturally excel at: fighting, accruing wealth, playing at power.
Janet Morris
Image
Shed your mortal skin and let me take you beneath the waves.
Janet Morris
Image
When the balance is restored, people get hurt.
Janet Morris
Image
Nothing powers hate better than embarrassment.
Janet Morris

Life to you, Riddler, and everlasting glory.

Image
Survival has its own etiquette.
Janet Morris
Image
Gods and politics are the tools with which the godless and unprincipled manipulate the gullible.
Janet Morris

What wastrel mankind destroyed takes time for nature to put to rights.
