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)
Mercedes LackeyGive your enemy a face, If he is human, do not dehumanize him. Know him and know why he is your enemy. If your enemy is within you, understand what it is and why you are afraid. Put a face on your fear. When you understand it, and it is no longer vague and shapeless, you will find that your fear is no longer so formidable.

Mercedes LackeyThereโs no such thing as `one, true wayโ; the only answers worth having are the ones you find for yourself; leave the world better than you found it. Love, freedom, and the chance to do some good โ theyโre the things worth living and dying for, and if you arenโt willing to die for the things worth living for, you might as well turn in your membership in the human race.
