The dead are too much with us.

It is no shame to lose to me, mortal. Even among mythical creatures there are very few who can give a unicorn a good game.

Sleep is perhaps the only among life's great pleasures which need not be of short duration.

I walked among Shadows, and found a race of furry creatures, dark and clawed and fanged, reasonably manlike, and about as intelligent as a freshman in the high school of your choice-sorry, kids, but what I mean is they were loyal, devoted, honest, and too easily screwed by bastards like me and my brother. I felt like the dee-jay of your choice.

Strygalldwir is my name. Conjure with it and I will eat your heart and liver. Conjure with it? I can't even pronounce it, and my cirrhosis would give you indigestion.

Of course it does not apply to me. I am the soul of honor, kindness, mercy and goodness. Trust me in all things.

Between the black of yesterday and the white of tomorrow is the great gray of today.

The enemy of the moment is not as important as our own inner weakness. If this is not mended we are already defeated, though no foreign conqueror stands within our walls.
Roger Zelazny

The four points of the compass be logic, knowledge, wisdom and the unknown. Some do bow in that final direction. Others advance upon it. To bow before the one is to lose sight of the three. I may submit to the unknown, but never to the unknowable. The man who bows in that final direction is either a saint or a fool. I have no use for either.

I know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.

If the liberal arts do nothing else they provide engaging metaphors for the thinking they displace.
