Mercedes Lackey quotes about
dark waste traps
. . . from what he knew about the Creatures of the Dark they wouldn't waste their time laying elaborate traps. They'd just eat someone.
cat three shepherds
Of three things be wary- of a feather on a cat, The shepherd eating mutton, And a guardsman that is fat.
dream dog secret
Three things know a secret- First; the lady in a dream, The dog that barks no warning, And a maid that does not scream.
fashion betrayal heart
Evil working in subtler fashion; marriages that proved to be no more then legalized slavery, and the careful manipulation of a bright and sensitive mind until its owner truly believed with all her heart in her own worthlessness. Betrayal, not once, but many times over.
fantasy horror written
... everything written is at least in part fantasy. Except maybe the national budget. That's horror.
way used blinders
Once the blinders are off, it's rather hard to go back to seeing things the way you used to.
pain healing space
Time doesn't. All that Time does is make it more distant, put more space between you and what happened. It doesn't heal anything. I don't know how or what does the healing, but it isn't Time.
sky doe shells
The hatched chick cannot go back to the shell, the falcon who has found the sky does not willingly sit the nest.
glasses woods break
Caught between glass and wood, that which breaks and that which bends, that which sings and that which survive. So our lives go.
warrior forgotten forgetful
When warriors feel afraid they lack something, it is only because they are forgetful. They have forgotten how capable they truly are.
rocks priorities strange
It's hard being a rock; they have such a strange sense of time - and priorities.
technology magic tools
Magic, like technology, is a tool.
passion people trouble
Certainly no one has ever died of an unrequited passion—it's usually the ones that are requited that get people in trouble.
freedom swings noses
The freedom to swing your fist ends at my nose.
