Mercedes LackeyWitch' is just a religion, okay? No baby-sacrificing, no Black Masses, no sending imps out to scare the dog-snot out of kids, trying to make them think they're crazy. We don't do things like that. Our number-one law is 'Have fun in this lifetime, but don't hurt anybody.' Nice little paraphrase of "An it harm none, do as ye will" if I do say so myself.

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.
