The threads can always be traced back to some earlier tale, and the tales that preceded that; though as the narrator's voice recedes the connections will seem to grow more tenuous, for each age will want the tale told as if it were of its own making. Clive Barker

Charles Dickens quote: "I do not know the American gentleman, God forgive me for..."
I do not know the American gentleman, God forgive me for putting two such words together. Charles Dickens

But Heaven is not a state of mind. Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly. For all that can be shaken will be shaken and only the unshakeable remains. C. S. Lewis

It is the hero's strength, the mother's resilience, and the poor man's armor. It cannot... R. A. Salvatore
