Quotes by Janet Morris
You count up your dead, every one. Always. Recall them, each and all – every face, every heart.
There is no mercy in trading life for life. And certainly no righteousness. Mercy, once given, cannot be taken back.
I see ranks ready for battle, stretching out. Five, six horses across, ranks in formation. Endlessly.
Listen close and you can hear, Please, bless us and forgive us, and make us good here and strong here. Let us get along here. Let those we love and left behind be blessed. Let us find the proper path and keep to it. Help us act harmoniously, and find work pleasing in the sight of god and man.
