Quote

Ah, Catylast, can it be that you do not see all the changes you have made? Some by your resignation and acceptance of circumstance, some by your wild struggles. You say that you hate change, but you *are* change. The Fool in Fool's Fate

Most prisons are of our own making. A man makes his own freedom, too.

Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.

We are as we are. How can you claim to know what life I was meant to lead, let alone threaten to force me into it? All your quibbling is nonsense. As well forbid your nose to snuff, or your ears to hear. We are as we do.

Love isn't just about feeling sure of the other person, knowing what he would give up for you. It's knowing with certainty what you are willing to surrender for his sake. Make no mistake each partner gives up something. Individual dreams are surrendered for a shared one.

I wonder if I can write this history, or if on every page there will be some sneaking show of a bitterness I thought long dead.

It's too late to apologize for. I have already forgiven you.

There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.

Men of passion and vision are often seen as mad.

One had a knife. But I had a staff and was trained to use it.

When you cut pieces out of the truth to avoid looking like a fool you end up looking like a moron instead.

Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice.

I healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.

Besides, if there were no dragons of flesh and blood and fire, whence would come the idea for these stone carvings?

As I apologized to her a flicker of panic raced through me and then faded away. There wasn't enough life left in me to panic. I'd made a mistake and I was dying. Apparently not even a Speck afterlife was available to me. I'd simply stop being. Apparently I hadn't died correctly. Oops.

Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.
