Will you deny yourself to those who reach out to you in hopes of warming themselves at your hearthfire?

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.

In a dog's world, only three states existed: now, in a while, and forever. If someone left, he was gone forever, and when he returned they rejoiced as much as if he were back from the dead precisely because he'd been gone forever.

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.

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.
