| 3015f07 | for not even the most powerful runes ever traced upon a body could guard against love's insidious poison. | Margaret Weis | ||
| 9c7df0f | How would hating benefit me? The elves did what they had to do, and so did I. I learned how to sail their ships. I learned to speak their language fluently. No, as I've discovered, hate generally costs a man more than he can afford. | Margaret Weis | ||
| 3612cab | Kalbi patlayiverdi. | Margaret Weis | ||
| 908ee24 | He writhed at the thought and vowed by the gods of magic, by all three gods of magic, that he would never return to Solace until he could do so with pride in himself and with power in his hand. | Margaret Weis | ||
| 1939feb | The darkness is killing us. | Margaret Weis | ||
| ab13d19 | For the love of all that is holy, just give me a straight-up, stand-up sword fight! I hate court intrigue and all the closet-hiding, eavesdropping, secret-liaisoning, lying, and manipulating, who's-watching-who-watching-who bastards that bow and scrape and simper as they slip arsenic into your claret. You can't tell your friends from your enemies from one day to the next. --Stephano De Guichen | Margaret Weis | ||
| a227544 | Everything happens for a reason. Your brain may not know the reason. Your brain may never figure it out. But your heart knows. Your heart always knows. | Margaret Weis | ||
| 8005629 | A 'why' is a dangerous thing," said Haplo. "It challenges old, comfortable ways; forces people to think about what they do instead of just mindlessly doing it. No wonder your people are afraid of it." "I think the danger is not so much in asking the 'why' as in believing you have come up with the only answer," said Alfred, seeming almost to be talking to himself." | Margaret Weis | ||
| 9f663cc | Being around humans over a long period of time taught me to understand that their impatience and ambition and their constant need for hurry, hurry, hurry is just their way of attempting to outrace their own mortality. | Margaret Weis | ||
| 0f7bce0 | Haplo: 'single, alone.' That is your name and your destiny," said his father, his finger rough and hard on Haplo's chest. "Your mother and I have defeated the odds thrown for us already. Every Gate we pass from now on is a wink at fate. But the time will come when the Labyrinth will claim us, as it claims all except the lucky and the strong. And the lucky and the strong are generally the lonely. Repeat your name." | Margaret Weis | ||
| e6398ac | The old dwarf drew himself up. His height was no longer impressive: the bowed back would not straighten, the legs could no longer support the body without assistance. But Drugar, towering over his father, saw the dignity in the trembling stance, the wisdom in the dimming eyes, and felt himself a child again. | Margaret Weis | ||
| 10ebc12 | Tas pulled himself up over the porch railing with the skill of a burglar. The kender slipped over to the door and peered up and down the bridge-walk. Seeing no one on it, he motioned to the others. Then he studied the lock and smiled to himself in satisfaction. The kender slid something out of one of his pouches. Within seconds, the door of Tika's house swung open. "Come in," he said, playing host." | Margaret Weis | ||
| 41254de | New roads demand a hoopak," was a popular saying among kenderkind. It was always followed immediately by another of their sayings: "No road is ever old." | Margaret Weis | ||
| cedd0b6 | Alfred shook his balding head slowly, with quiet dignity. "You can't threaten me, Haplo. Sartan magic is different from Patryn magic, but it has the same roots and is just as powerful. I haven't used my magic as much as you've been forced by circumstances to use yours. But I am older than you. And you must concede that magic of any type is strengthened by age and by wisdom." | Margaret Weis | ||
| ce92bab | With the king's declaration of the disbanding of the Dragon Brigade, our service to our country comes to an end. | Margaret Weis | ||
| ecde6ab | Tanis at first wondered what the mage was studying, then realized it was his spellbook. It is the curse of the magi that they must constantly study and recommit their spells to memory every day. The words of magic flame in the mind, then flicker and die when the spell is cast. Each spell burns up some of the magician's physical and mental energy until he is totally exhausted and must rest before he can use his magic again. | Margaret Weis | ||
| 3435d8d | Now her smile was like the bleakness of the sun in a cold winter sky. It gave light but no warmth, perhaps because there was no matching warmth in her eyes. | Margaret Weis | ||
| d86a9d5 | The ones we love most are those we trust least. | Margaret Weis | ||
| e611230 | And on God's palette are the colors of the world, and one of those colors is black. So I will not fear the darkness, for it is of God's making as death is another part of his grand design. My soul will walk in the darkness and shadows and marvel at the night sky. Death is but a journey back to the canvas of my God. --Requiem | Margaret Weis | ||
| 837af9d | Un "perche" e sempre pericoloso - disse Haplo - mette in forse vecchi, confortevoli sistemi di vita, costringe la gente a pensare a quello che fa, anziche farlo semplicemente senza pensare. Non c'e da stupirsi se le persone ne hanno paura - Io credo che il pericolo non risieda tanto nel chiedere "perche" quanto nel credere di essere giunti alla risposta definitiva - osservo Alfred come parlando a se stesso." | Margaret Weis | ||

| fa24659 | Paul is pinning all hopes for the eschatological future on Jesus' resurrection. | J.R. Daniel Kirk | ||
| cba8e3b | Paul reinterprets the Scriptures of Israel in light of Jesus' resurrection in order to defend his assertion that all people must confess the lordship of the resurrected Christ in order to know the righteousness of God and thus be numbered among God's people.570 | J.R. Daniel Kirk | ||
| 68f1dd3 | If we are not imitating the heavenly Father, then we are not his children: | J.R. Daniel Kirk | ||
| a17d5b5 | In Romans 1:3-4 Paul says something so surprising that most of our Bible translations refuse to print it. A literal translation reads as follows: the gospel promised by God "concerns his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, who was appointed Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from among the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord." When Paul says Jesus "was appointed Son of God," he.. | J.R. Daniel Kirk | ||
