"As are yours, my heart." A soft, pale hand caresses Ali's cheek, as Sasha's brow wrinkles with concern. "You couldn't sleep?"

[vicioussweetie]

--Barbara Hall

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
-- James A. Froude

Dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. For fleeting dreams have two gates: one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory. Those which pass through the one of sawn ivory are deceptive, bringing tidings which come to nought, but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal sees them.
-- Homer
A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.
-- Arthur Brisbane

I know indeed what evil I intend to do,
but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury,
fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils.
-- Euripides

"Those are all very good choices, my dear. I especially like the Homer."

[quitechild]

"Ah, the Sandman!" She smiles brightly. "I'm very fond of those books. Morpheus is one of the few people I dearly long to have a conversation with."

"Those are very nice. I especially like the Goethe." She smiles, tired but happy. "I've always said that physics is poetic."

[jumpyspringy]

*He smiles.* Poetry in motion?

Ok. That was a horrible cliche, I'll admit it.

[vicioussweetie]

She giggles anyway, and steals a kiss. "I love you."

Destiny waits alike for the free man as well as for him enslaved by another's might.
Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC), The Libation Bearers

Fate chooses your relations, you choose your friends.
Jacques Delille

If fate means you to lose, give him a good fight anyhow.
William McFee

They say that blood is thicker than water. Maybe that's why we battle our own with more energy and gusto than we would ever expend on strangers.
David Assael, Northern Exposure, Family Feud, 1993

Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.

[greyfireson]

[vicioussweetie]

"Yes, I know..."
