"The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart."

[thanate]

...Although it may be that I'm the only one who's read Memory so many times that I automatically recognize that quote....

That and Harra's advice:

..."You go on. You just go on. There's nothing more to it, and there's no trick to make it easier. You just go on."

"What do you find on the other side? When you go on?"

She shrugged. "Your life again. What else?"

"Is that a promise?"

She picked up a pebble, fingered it, and tossed it into the water. The moon-lines bloomed and danced. "It's an inevitability. No trick. No choice. You just go on."

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to come up with another book to take with me on my incipient travels, having just about finished this one...

Having just reread A Civil Campaign, I could recommend that one... snerkle, snort. Or have you gotten hold of Beguilement yet?

Aargh. Must now read Memory (except for inconvenience of being at work and without library).

actually, I picked up The Hallowed Hunt, since I think I've only read that one once-- maybe twice, but a while ago...

although I haven't gotten a copy of the new one yet...
