passion men mad
Men of passion and vision are often seen as mad.
thinking humanity age
...To free humanity of time. For time is the great enslaver of us all. Time that ages us, time that limits us. Think how often you have wished to have more time for something, or wished you could go back a day and do something differently. When humanity is freed of time, old wrongs can be corrected before they are done.
fashion hurt pain
If a man does not die of a wound, then it heals in some fashion, and so it is with loss. From the sharp pain of immediate berevement, both the Prince and I passed into the gray days of numb bewilderment and waiting. So grief has always seemed to me, a time of waiting not for the hurt to pass, but to become accustomed to it.
women intelligent talent
A woman of many talents. And intelligent, too. He'd probably have to kill her soon.
heart balance strange
Do you not see how strange and wonderful that is? That all history balances on an affair of the human heart?
night promise world
There is a dead spot in the night, that coldest, blackest time when the world has forgotten evening and dawn is not yet a promise. A time when it is far too early to arise, but so late that going to bed makes small sense.
fun character writing
Well,the fun part of being a writer is that it's like making a wonderful film, with no limit on my budget. I can design the sets, the costume, the lightings, I write the script, and then I get to perform all the roles as I step into each character's skin, zip up, and adopt that point of view. So, to me, they are all compelling and fascinating.
kings pain simple
Leave the pain behind and let your life be your own again. There is a place where all time is now, and the choices are simple and always your own. Wolves have no kings
cost values
I never confuse the cost of something with its value
littles welcome reassuring
There is little in life so reassuring as a genuine welcome.
yesterday tomorrow
Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.
truth cutting pieces
When you cut pieces out of the truth to avoid looking like a fool you end up looking like a moron instead.
journey yesterday goes-on
Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.
self events-in-life challenges
That is the challenge Companion. To take what has happened to you and learn from it. Nothing is quite so destructive as pity, especially self-pity. No event in life is so terrible that one cannot rise above it.
