Anyone who clings to the historically untrue - and thoroughly immoral - doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forgot this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and there freedoms.

Terry Pratchett, Sourcery

I wish it was easy to follow that advice It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.Hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world.We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore. ... Francois De La Rochefoucauld
