Image
This was what men fought for, what men died for: a chance at life, and to fight on other days - the battle of your choice, of the body, or the heart, or the soul.
Janet Morris
Image
This fight coming is not a battle of weapons, but a battle of wills.

Something is going on everywhere, most of which no one understands.
Janet Morris
Image
Be polite to all, friendly to none. Be professional. Be ready to kill everyone and everything.
Janet Morris
Image
No ethos, pursued without thought or mercy, is ethical.
Janet Morris

Fight for life itself and everlasting freedom of the human spirit.
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
Love sees all hate is blind.
Janet Morris

Wanting neither too much to live, nor too much to die.
