Here are some quotes of Bradley, also taken from characters in her books.
Science fiction encourages us to explore... all the futures, good and bad, that the human mind can envision.
To know you are ignorant is the beginning of wisdom. Then, when you begin to learn, you will not have to forget all the things you think you know.
There is no sorrow like the memory of love and the knowledge that it is gone forever.
Fear was the
worst thing. Fear would put her at the mercy of whatever misfortune
came. Even the wild beasts could smell fear on your body and would
come and attack, while they would flee from the courageous. This
was why the bravest man could run among the deer with safety, so
long as fear was not smelled on his skin.
And the truth is only that we grow and die and wither even as this grass here.
but I believe the divine ones will send other great masters to preach the truth to mankind, and that mankind will always receive them with the cross and the fire and the stones.
There is no such thing as a true tale. Truth has many faces and the truth is like to the old road to Avalon; it depends on your own will, and your own thoughts, whither the road will take you.
Love is the only prayer I know.
Will you walk the road to your destiny, or must the Gods drag you to it unwilling?
Beware what you speak,' said the Merlin very softly, 'for indeed the words we speak make shadows of what is to come, and by speaking them we bring them to pass, my king.
It had to do with the knowledge that the world was as it was because of what men believed it was... year by year, these past three or four generations, the minds of men had been hardened to believing that there was one God, one world, one way of describing reality, and that all things which intruded on the realm of that great one-ness must be evil and of the fiends, and that the sound of the bells and the shadow of their holy places would keep the evil afar. And as more and more people believed this, it was so, and Avalon no more than a dream adrift in an almost inaccessible other world.
If you seek to avoid your fate or to delay suffering, it only condemns you to suffer it redoubled in another life.
The older I grow the more I become certain that it makes no difference what words we use to tell the same truths.
I somehow got the impression of intro Gamma values? Lots of :Fi: and :Ni:.
And 5w6/6w5 SX/SO.
