| 9917bd5 | I've just gotta save myself and then I'm Yours. | Frank Warren | ||
| 40202c5 | I make you believe that I am racist ... so you wouldn't suspect that I had sex with your best friend. | Frank Warren | ||

| 3b5d0d5 | Trouble always feels personal. But it doesn't mean that God doesn't care about you. That He's out to get you. In fact, the opposite is true. God deliberately put Himself in the way of the ultimate tragedy to save you. That's what grace is...and frankly, He uses trouble to show you Himself. | burning-sky fire hotshots light-my-fire smokejumpers susan-may-warren | Susan May Warren | |
| 5eb8332 | As Warren Beatty, perhaps the best student of the human condition in Hollywood, once told me, people will forget what you say, but they will never forget how you made them feel. | Frank Luntz | ||
| 0f7b6a7 | The jury hung at eleven to one. Promptly a new jury was impaneled. During the second trial a member of the jury came forward to report a bribe attempt. He was excused and replaced by an alternate. This jury found Jimmy Hoffa not guilty. A crushed Bobby Kennedy still had the perjury charge against Hoffa to fall back on. But not for long. The perjury indictment relied on wiretapped conversations between Johnny Dio and Jimmy Hoffa. The wiretap.. | Charles Brandt | ||
| 95a9904 | Many Americans wonder why Robert Kennedy took no action against Lyndon Johnson if he suspected the vice president's complicity in the murder of his brother. In fact, we now know that Johnson was concerned that Robert Kennedy would object to his immediate ascendancy to the presidency. The very fact that Johnson would worry about something so constitutionally preordained virtually proved Johnson's fear that Kennedy would see through his role .. | Roger Stone | ||

| 78d1f36 | These people are civilians, Moira. Look at them. They didn't try to hurt Holcomb's workers and they're certainly no threat to the Cabal." I smiled and waved my right hand, palm out. "Come on. You know these aren't the druids you're looking for." No one even chuckled. So much for diffusing the situation with humor." | Mercedes Lackey | ||

| 1c92803 | Talia was always intimidated by her presence, and always felt she looked hoydenish and disheveled, no matter how carefully she'd prepared herself for confrontations. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 54aea4e | Why would you want to make them happy?" Amberdrake turned back to his little friend, and sat with a sad smile on his face. "Because they are bitter, unhappy people, and very little else makes them happy. They say what they do out of envy, for any number of reasons. It may be because I lead a more luxurious life than they, or at least they believe I do. It may be because there are many people who do call me friend, and those are all folk of .. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 76d105f | Keth, power brings with it the need to make moral judgments; history proves that. You have no choice but to make those decisions. | power | Mercedes Lackey | |
| b599f6e | How could we have been afraid of her? She was only dead. It's the living we fear. | fear | Mercedes Lackey | |
| a4818a9 | Acting on what you want is something only children think is an adult prerogative. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 62278bc | And when it comes down to cases, everything written is at least in part a fantasy. Except maybe for the national budget. That's horror. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| a6b2c93 | These "doyennes of society" were no different at bottom than the leading dames among the gossips of her own village. Within that little "society," their word was law, and the law was respectability." | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 52698b7 | My father had been from Glasgow; my mother, from Los Angeles. They had both enjoyed the quip that the difference between an American and a European was that to an American, a hundred years was a long time, and to a European, a hundred miles is a big journey. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 7cf00bf | No matter how many times we prove otherwise, the men don't seem to believe we can take care of ourselves." "Which is ridiculous," Rosa agreed, "Especially when you consider how many settler women over there on their frontier are doing just that." | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 75ef54d | They spend a quarter of their lives writing things down, a quarter finding what other people have written down, a quarter hiding what was written down, and a quarter making sure if it should have been written down and wasn't, it is now.: | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 5672054 | You are not the only female hire-swords I have dealt with," he replied. "Many of my trade allies have them as personal retainers. It has often seemed to me that many of those I met have had to be twice as skilled as their male counterparts to receive half the credit." | Mercedes Lackey | ||

| 4f2aa12 | To get back to the original subject, most dragons prefer to be friends at a distance. Occasionally meet where the edges of our territories join--that sort of thing. Chat, exchange news, perhaps play a round of the riddle game, then go our separate ways. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| dd236af | Tradition spoke of an elegant half-arch being only a fallen pile of stones without its counterpart to make it whole. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| cebac6f | It is only a fairy tale. They always end sadly. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 0bb74a5 | It was partly a matter of the simple fact that late fall was slaughtering time. Anything that could not be preserved had to be eaten. For instance, hens too old to lay eggs anymore and all the roosters but the chief of the flock were often killed at this time. | Mercedes Lackey | ||

| 8556e64 | Witch' 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." | Mercedes Lackey | ||

| 5640ac1 | Many of them were not problems at all, only the perception of a problem, and simply delaying a decision would make it less of a perceived problem with every passing day. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 35a18e6 | Stories ain't about the feller what wrote 'em, even if he pertends they are. They don' even hev t'be true to be right! Stories are 'bout what they make you feel. If'n they make you feel good, an' make y'all wanta be brave, an' good, an' do what's right, thet's the important thing! | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| c4e1c87 | Make your motivations secret to the enemy, fool them into false planning, use their force against them, lead them onto harsh ground, hold true to the beliefs of your followers, and show them the ways they may become like you. Lead by example. | Mercedes Lackey | ||

| 96cbedb | Emperor held court from his Iron Throne, made from the personal weapons of all those monarchs the Emperors of the past had conquered and deposed, each glazed and guarded against rust. The throne itself was over six feet tall and four feet in width; a monolithic piece of furniture, it was so heavy that it had not been moved so much as a finger-length in centuries. Anyone looking at it could only be struck by its sheer mass--and must begin ca.. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| f3f448e | I'll 'ave 'er there well afore, ma'am," the cabby said, impressed by the guinea, if by nothing else. He chirruped to his horse, who trotted off without needing a slap of the reins or a touch of the whip." | Mercedes Lackey | ||

| d2a67d0 | This was true mountain country, now, and true wilderness. Valley meadows, leafy trees halfway up the slopes, then evergreens gradually taking over at the higher altitudes... their road wound its way up and down through tree-tunnels that only intermittently allowed them to see the sky. It would have been a lovely journey under other circumstances. The weather remained fair, and remarkably pleasant, even if the night was going to be cold.

| 553ca3a | It's not a happy ending!" she wept, as Elena stared at her, dumbfounded. "It will never be a happy ending! How can I possibly have a happy ending when I am going to have to spend the rest of my life without the creature I love?" Elena blinked at her, as did virtually everyone else in the courtyard. "You did say 'creature,' am I correct?" Elena asked cautiously. "And you do mean-" But she had already run across the courtyard and flung hersel.. | confession-of-love true-love | Mercedes Lackey | |
