Quotes and a fic rec
Torch was asking for character prompts and she wrote me a lovely and hilarious Full Metal Alchemist/Highlander crossover. It's over here; go, enjoy!
And some G. K. Chesterton quotes for the easily amused, to continue the Methos theme of the day!
The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.
Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes -- our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking around.
Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.
What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.
The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.
