More quotes by Mercedes Lackey
Sympathy can be addictive and can kill strong men as surely as a diet of nothing but sugar.
Mercedes Lackey
The great love is gone. There are still little loves - friend to friend, brother to sister, student to teacher. Will you deny yourself comfort at the hearthfire of a cottage because you may no longer sit by the fireplace of a palace? Will you deny yourself to those who reach out to you in hopes of warming themselves at your hearthfire?

I think I know why you never married, Sarah. Well, and I reckoned if I wanted something that'd come and go as he pleased, take me for granted, and ignore me when he chose, I'd get a cat. And if I wanted something I'd always have to be picking up after, getting into trouble, but slavishly devoted, I'd get a dog.

Inexperience can be overcome, ignorance can be enlightened, but prejudice will destroy you.
Mercedes Lackey
Honor was never taking the easy way when it was also the wrong one. Never telling a falsehood unless the truth was painful and unnecessary, or a lie was necessary to save others. Never manipulating the truth to serve only yourself. Protecting the weak and helpless standing fast even when fear made you weak. Keeping your word.
Mercedes Lackey
Caught between glass and wood, that which breaks and that which bends, that which sings and that which survive. So our lives go.
Mercedes Lackey
It's hard being a rock they have such a strange sense of time - and priorities.
Mercedes Lackey
This I think I have learned: where there is love, the form does not matter, and the gods are pleased. This I have observed: what occurs in nature, comes by the hand of nature, and if the gods did not approve, it would not be there ~ Moondance k'Treva (Magic's Pawn)

Change or stagnate. Keep moving or die.

Evil working in subtler fashion marriages that proved to be no more then legalized slavery, and the careful manipulation of a bright and sensitive mind until its owner truly believed with all her heart in her own worthlessness. Betrayal, not once, but many times over.

The people who keep coping, keep trying, no matter how many blows Fate takes at them. Nobody'll make a song about them, but they're heroes all the same.

If he didn't get out of here - right now - Harrier was either going to break into hysterical laughter or strangle somebody.
