“ ‘Ruff,
I talked to a mom in there who is going to give up everything for her kids,
even her life. I also talked with a man who did not see the point of keeping
one’s word. I want to be in her world, not in his.’
Ruff
said, ‘You’d live longer in his.’
Gil
said, ‘And be just as dead at the end and be called to account for my life.’ ”
— John C. Wright, Swan Knight’s Sword
See, now THERE’S a sentiment I’d want my
kids to read and internalize.
