Four stones stacked atop one another will outlive all your dreams and still stand when your descendants have long forgotten that you lived here.

Death is always less painful and easier than life! You speak true. And yet we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make. Am I right?

Å være jente er som å gå med for små sko. Å være feminist er å forstå at det er ikke føttene som er for store, men at skoene er for små.

To survive,

Know the past.

Let it touch you.

Then let

The past

Go.

Belief

Initiates and guides action -

Or it does nothing.

Do not worship God

Inexorable God

Neither needs nor wants

Your worship.

Instead,

Acknowledge and attend God,

Learn from God,

With forethought and intelligence,

Imagination and industry,

Shape God.

When you must,

Yield to God.

Adapt and endure.

For you are Earthseed,

And God is Change.

We give our dead

To the orchards

And the groves.

We give our dead

To life.

All that you touch - You Change.

All that you Change - Changes you.

The only lasting truth - Is Change.

God - Is Change.

What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger.

It is said in Fin Panir that the first paladins came out of the west, in a storm of light, riding horses so beautiful they hurt the eyes to see. A man and a woman, it is said, but no one remembers their names.

[...] og om jeg elsker deg, hva angår det deg?

Det viktige er ikke å aldri falle.
Det viktige er å alltid reise seg igjen.

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.

Det er som en abstinens ikke å få se den man er forelska i. Du kjenner det, fysisk, i hele deg, hvordan du mangler noe essensielt, hvordan det som får deg til å puste, det som får føttene dine til å bevege seg, ikke finnes lenger. Folk sier det er vanskelig å slutte å røyke, å slutte med heroin. Forsøk å slutte å være forelska når du er det. Der er umulig.

Du er unik. Som om dét var noe spesielt.

Når noen spør deg om du har ett minutt, så si at du har det, men at du har tenkt å bruke det selv.

The gods invented seasickness to protect the English.

Sir, they say he's dead, sir. They say he killed himself and ran away.

I will now tell the Panda Story to illustrate the importance of the presence or the absence of the comma. This panda walked into a tea shop and ordered a salad and ate it. Then it pulled out a pistol, shot the man at the next table dead, and walked out. Everyone rushed after it, shouting, "Stop! Stop! Why did you do that?"

"Because I'm a panda," said the panda. "That's what pandas do. If you don't believe me, look in the dictionary."

So they looked in the dictionary and sure enough they found Panda: Raccoon-like animal of Asia. Eats shoots and leaves.

"Kotikokura, by saving the life of a human being, we merely endanger the life of another. It is futile to be kind and generous. 'Homo homini lupus.' Wolves all, - devouring one another, - and always the Jew the final scapegoat. So be it! We cannot help it. We must laugh or go mad." Kotikokura laughed heartily. I joined him.
