After a long discussion with
ryanfirewitch about money and logistics and general freaking out about "what will people think?" (sorry, beloved!) I came across this quote from Chapter 3 of Liber AL (quoted in one of my old posts): "Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything. Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your arms."
Heh.
Also, earlier today I came across this quote from Tolkien (spoken by Eowyn): "'I have waited on faltering feet long enough. Since they falter no longer, it seems, may I not now spend my life as I will?'"
Yep, that's pretty much where it stands.
