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.

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.
