Loss of empathy might well be the most enduring and deep-cutting scar of all, the silent blade of an unseen emey, tearing at our hearts and stealing more than our strength- Drizzt Do'Urden
You view the gods as entities without," Montolio tried to explain. "You see them as physical beings trying to control our actions for their own ends, and thus you, in your stubborn independance, reject them. The gods are within, I say, whether one has named his own or not. You have followed Mielikki all your life, Drizzt. You merely never had a name to put on your heart.
I am no longer amazed by how quickly a man will justify his change of heart when a spear is leveled his way.
...a third [of three] had died in his bunk of natural causes--for a dagger in the heart quite naturally ends one's life.
We need to be reminded sometimes that a sunrise last but a few minutes. But its beauty can burn in our hearts eternally.
There is no pain greater than this; not the cut of a jagged-edged dagger nor the fire of a dragon's breath. Nothing burns in your heart like the emptiness of losing something, someone, before you truly have learned of its value.
Do we behave out of fear of punishment, or out of the demands of our heart? For me, it is the latter, as I would hope is true for all adults, thought I know from bitter experience that such is not often the case. To act in a manner designed to catapult you into heaven would seem transparent to a god, any god,for if ones heart is not in allignment with the creator of that heaven, then... what is the point?
A span of a few heartbeats can make for a greater memory than the sum of a mundane year.-Catti-brie
But what of faith? What of fidelity and loyalty? Complete trust? Faith is not granted by tangible proof. It comes from the heart and the soul. If a person needs proof of god's existence, then the very notion of spirituality is diminished into sensuality and we have reduced what is holy into what is logical.-Drizzt Do'urden
Follow your heart, minute by minute and day by day. Let the course of the river run as it will, instead of tying yourself up in fears that you may never realize" Wulfgar
The sheer number of damaged cars out there means that people need to be extra careful.
Things like jewelry, it might be quite honestly easier to leave that at home. Or put it in a safe-deposit box.
The way insurance works, they are going to look at what is their experience and what is the projected experience. The underwriting, how an individual insurance company prices its products is very important. That is how they compete. Some companies just believe the risk is too great for them to financially handle.
These are the two areas where you don't want to make a mistake. These are the two areas that are costly.
