RamingoWS 21 апреля 2017 г., 08:14 Пожаловаться That`s what it is to be a hero. It`s fighting on even when you`re hopelessly outnumbered. It`s seeing your friends all around you, witnessing the most shocking cruelty you could imagine, and still finding the courage to go on. It`s doing the very best you can.

RamingoWS 21 апреля 2017 г., 08:05 Пожаловаться Truth can be the worst thing of all. Dark enough to bloat out everything good. Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 21 апреля 2017 г., 03:34 Пожаловаться ...when Flannan reappeared with his belongings the four of us set off together: the scholar and the monk, the so-called wise woman and... If this were an old tale, what name would I give Grim? The bodyguard? The companion? The protector, the keeper? The friend? He was all of those and more. Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 18:33 Пожаловаться "Every ancient tale has truth in its heart," I said. "That`s what I`ve always believed, anyway. But after years and years of retelling, the shape of those old stories changes. What may once have been simple and easily recognized becomes strange, woundrous and magical. Those are only the trappings of the story. The truth… Развернуть Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 18:17 Пожаловаться As we rode, I pondered what the word monster really meant. Monsters in ancient tales were often a disconcerning mix of man and creature. They rose from swamps or lurked in dark forests, ready to leap out and sink their teeth into the unwary traveller. Monsters were ugly, fearsome, strange; they tended to attack without… Развернуть Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 18:09 Пожаловаться "This [plan] sounds... It sounds fragile, Flannan. Like a rope woven too thin, that would snap under the least strain." "The rope is woven from courage, comradeship and hope. It is strong enough to bind an evildoer and bring him to justice. I promise." Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 18:05 Пожаловаться "Better pack up, then. Not sure what a fellow needs to deal with a monster." "Courage," says Blackthorn. "Sharp wits. Imagination." Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 09:09 Пожаловаться Her mind`s away, off somewhere else. In the past, most likely. Know that feeling. Know it better than I want do, the dark things that never go away, the sunny, precious things that go all too soon. Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 09:07 Пожаловаться Seeing her this way`s magic, not spells and curses but a good kind of magic. Like spring flowers and sunshine and children laughing. I do miss sitting with her, just the two of us chatting the way we did before Flannan came. I used to drop in when she was free, bring her a brew, pass the time of day until she started… Развернуть Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 01:08 Пожаловаться Even when I was young and content and thought life would bring good things for me and mine, I didn`t believe in miracles. Magic, maybe, of the king wrought by the fey. But that wasn`t the same. Magic could seem to deliver the remarkable, the impossible, the stuff of wild dreams, but such gifts all too often came with… Развернуть Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 00:49 Пожаловаться We`re cursed, her and me. Cursed to a life full of nasty surprises. Soon as you start thinking it`s plain sailing ahead, the worst storm in the world blows up. Still, a man can hope. If not, what`s the point of going on? Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 00:44 Пожаловаться "About happy endings. Folk like a story to finish well. Doesn`t matter if that`s true to life or not. Helps to hear about folk being content. About good folk getting what they deserve. While you`re listening you can believe, for a bit, that you`re good too. Worth a happy ending." I dashed away a sudden treacherous tear.… Развернуть Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 00:38 Пожаловаться One of the qualities that made Grim bearable to live with was that I didn`t need to tell him anything twice. If I wanted him to shut up, he shut up. If I needed him to talk, he talked. If I was in a foul mood, as now, he made a brew, gave me a cup, then got on with his own business. Often I didn`t need to tell him at all.… Развернуть Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 00:33 Пожаловаться "True love breaks your heart," I said. <...> "Oh, yes," breathed Geileis. "And yet, it is surely better to have had such a love and lost it than never to have known the joy of it at all." Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0
RamingoWS 18 апреля 2017 г., 00:11 Пожаловаться The fey don`t see the world in the same way as you or I might. To deal with them is to walk a perilous path, full of twists and turns, byways and dead ends. The fey have little comprehension of human feelings: love, friendship, loyalty, selflessness. That makes it hard for their kind and our kind to work in true… Развернуть Tower of Thorns Juliet Marillier 5,0

AliceDeane 8 января 2023 г., 15:43 Пожаловаться Мы ценим догадливость и развитое воображение, любим, когда идут на риск, при том, однако, условии, что этот риск оправдан. Но оправдан ли он, вы не узнаете, пока на него не пойдете. Арфа королей Джулиет Марильер 3,5
