...You have to accept yourself, who you are. You don't believe. You still fight who you are. Until you accept yourself, until you believe, you won't be able to call forth your Han, your power, except in great anger.

Richard started to walk away. Zedd called his name. He stopped and turned. Just be glad she cares for you as much as she does. If she didn't, she might have touched you. Richard stared back at him a long moment. I'm afraid, in a way, she already has.

Love is not about what you want. It's about finding happiness for the one you love.
Terry Goodkind
Image
I'm afraid that we all make mistakes. One of the things that defines our character is how we handle mistakes. If we lie about having made a mistake, then it can't be corrected and it festers. On the other hand, if we give up just because we made a mistake, even a big mistake, none of us would get far in life.

Perception was easily accomplished, required little effort, and it never had to stand the test of reality.

People are stupid... They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they're afraid it might be true.

You have one Mord-Sith and one Mother Confessor, here, both in very bad moods. I would suggest you not give us an excuse to lose our temper, or we may never find it again in your lifetime. -Kahlan Amnell

Every person's life is theirs by right. An individual's life can and must belong only to to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave.
