Because I harbor far too much anger for far too little reason that I can discern, I give to you my favorite quotes from my favorite book:
If a wife be denied by her enemies her name
and her love
and her truth
and her honor
She will never forget it
She will never forgive it
and she will want it back.
And she shall take it back:
For she will fight
And she will win
And they shall be destroyed.
--Lassarina Aoibhell ac Douglas
Three things to keep in mind of death and bards:
It is death to mock a bard, death to love a bard,
death to be a bard.
A journey have I endured, and to the gate
I now am come.
The hall I will enter and my song I shall chaunt;
my truth I will pronounce to silence lying tongues.
I will destroy them!
Upon them I shall break as water strikes the shore.
Let the fools be therefore silent
and their falsehoods fade away,
and death to them who thought to mock a bard:
For vengeance of a bard who loves a bard
is come upon them.
--Athyn's Song Against Liars
