Kind of a weird way to put it, but has anybody read a quote in Tammy's books that just made them shiver, or gave them a sudden and short-lived deep thought? I only have two right now (there are too many ones that have brought me to tears to put here, but you're welcome to), so here they are:

AtFA, when she's having problems with Ralon:

... Jonathan's friends surrounded Ralon. He saw Raoul adjusting the padded gloves and began to sweat.

... Gary held Ralon. Raoul administered the beating, his face impossible to read.

Did anybody feel just a bit creeped by that image: "his face impossible to read"....

Here's the second, from SQUIRE, when <slight spoilers follow, in white so highlight to read> Wyldon is resigning:

"Sir, I learned so much from you," she (Kel) said at last. "You're the kind of knight I want to be."

He (Wyldon) regarded her with the strangest expression in his eyes. "I am not," he said. "But that you believe it is the greatest compliment I will ever receive."

That one stirred me too. So, am I the only one reading a little **TOO** much, or can anybody else think of quotes that have made them feel this way? (Sad ones are welcome too; I remember the ending of Briar's Book made me sniffle.)

A boy once asked his
mother, "What is God like?"

His mother replied, "God is
sometimes man,
sometimes woman.
God is sometimes black,
sometimes white.
God sometimes sings,
sometimes dances."

The kid thought about this,
then he said, "I get it! God is

If I thought about it enough and looked through my books I could probably find some, but these I think are funny :

"When people say a knight's job is all glory, I laugh and laugh and laugh. Often I can stop laughing before they edge away and talk about soothing drinks" Raoul
I'm not sure exactly how this one goes, but it's what Neal says to Owen: You are a souless, heartless something, and I hope you are kidnapped by ... That's basically how it goes

'You are a souless heartless savage. I hope you get eaten by lions.'
This conversation makes me laugh everytime I read it. I get really hystercal and I cant settle down. Yes there is something wrong with me, but then, if there werent those select few that werew slightly eccentric, what would the world be like:
neal:I suppose he could have changed. I myself have noticed my growing resemblance to a daffodil.
kel: I thought ou looked a bit yellow around the edges. I didnt want to bring it up.
neal: We daffodils like having things brought up, It reminds us of spring.
cleon: does dung remind you of spring to, Princess flower?

I know I have left a bit out, but I have limited time on the internet. (Netball=eeewwwwwwww)

*cracks up* yeaahhhh that one from neal is 'you are a bloody minded savage i hope you are kidnapped by centaurs' thats a funny one and he says it to owen for one of owens generally jolly minded remarks on fighting.

Hello!
You must be new to Sheroes- this thread is almost six years old. Generally, if a thread has not been posted on in the last two weeks or so, it is considered dead. Try not to ressurect old posts, especially ones this old.

Kissing isn't what keeps me up to my elbows in placenta all day long.

  

This one in Page where the new squires have just moved to the squire table and Kel and co. are just fourth years.

Neal- Next year, it's our turn.
His words made her heart thud alarmingly. They were now fourth-year pages.

I don't know, that just makes me feel weird.

"If she dies, Mithros forgive you. I never will."
-Lord Raoul

"What a grand world, when small boys understand the tactics of war"
-Kel

ok, well I am sooooo obsessed w/ tortall and the tortall series and characters that my friends make fun of me, but I dont care. anyway, the quote: "If she dies, Mithros forgive you. I never will."
-Lord Raoul

when I read it, I squeaked, got then shivers, then couldnt calm down.. I love raoul. he is so cool. but beacause I have already written so much, I thought I just might add that it bugged me the until the awesome quote (above) when Kel usd to get hurt or into trouble, he's regard it as a lesson, w/ no sympathy or anything...emotional.

and sir.....long live king Roger! JKJKJK I also love JON, liam,george, and dom. but mostly Raoul

Jon and Raoul are the BEST
I love Sirius
And I obsess over...Vidanric and Russav! woohoo

I always liked in WWRLM, Alanna: "Women and men think the same. It is just that men make more noise about being able to." Or soemthing like that. I'm too lazy to check But I just love that line!

Robyn~
oh rose, this painted rose
is not the whole
who paints the flower
paints not its fragrant soul

"Men don't think any differently than women, they just make more noise about being able to!"
- I have too much time on my hand.

"Kel suddenly realized what was wrong, what they were trying to say. They thought a man had beaten her. She began to giggle, then to laugh.
It took some time to convince them that her injuries were normal for a squire who was silly enough to joust with Lord Raoul and get stuck with a baby griffin." (111)
- I found that one rather funny.

"At our level, there are four kinds of warrior," he told Kel. He raised a fist and held up one large finger. "Heroes, like Alanna the Lioness. Warriors who find dark places and fight in them alone. This is wonderful, but we live in the real world. There aren't many places without hope or light."
He raised a second finger. "We have knights. Plain, everyday knights, like your brothers. They patrol their bordors and protect their tenents, or they go into troubled areas at the king's command and sort them out.They fight in battles, usually against other knights. A hero will work like an everyday knight for a time- it's expected. And most knights must be clever enough to manage alone."
Kel nodded.
"We have soldiers," Raoul continued, raising a third finger. "Those are warriors, including knights, who can manage as long as they're told what to do. These are more common, thank Mithros, you'll find them in charge of companies in the army, under the eye of a general. Without people who can take orders, we'd be in real trouble.
"Commanders." He raised his little finger. "Good ones, people with a knack for it,like, say, the queen, or Buri, or young Dom, they're as rare as heroes. Commanders have an eye not just for what they do, but for what those around them do. Commanders size up people's strengths and weaknesses. They know where someone will shine and where they will collapse. Other warriors will obey a true commander because they can tell that the commander knows what he- or she- is doing." Raoul picked up a quill and toyed with it. "You've shown flashes of being a commander. I've seen it. So has Qasim, your friend Neal, even Wyldon, though it would be like pulling teeth to get him to admit it. My job is to see if you will do more than flash, with the right training. The realm needs commanders. Tortall is big. We have too many still-untamed pockets, too cursed many hideyholes for rogues, too many hungry enemies to nibble at our bordors and our seafaring trade. If you have what it takes, the Crown will use you. We're too desperate for good commanders to let one slip away..." (Raoul, 114)
- I like that.

"Because if a member of the old nobility kidnapped one of the new nobility, it would cause a civil war," replied the king. "I like to discourage that kind of thing." (King Jonathan, 158)
- That one makes me laugh.

"Wear it in health and victory," Queen Thayet said. "Now, show the nice people."
Kel turned, and showed them." (377)
- That one's also funny! "The nice people..." Haha.

"...It's true, at the university I never would have spent time with anyone so much younger than me.I would have definatley lost something then. These little fellows aren't always testing each other like males of my advanced years." He bowed, and Kel smiled. "And I wouldn't give up your friendship for all the healer credentials in the world."
"Me?" she demanded, astonished.
They walked into the waiting room, the first pages there. "You," Neal said, leaning against a wall and crossing his arms. "You are an education, Keladry of Mindelan."
Kel put her hands on her hips. "I'm not sure that's a compliment."
Neal grinned. "Neither am I," he teased.
As Seaver, Merric, and Owen came in, Kel pointed at Neal. "You will pay for that, on the practice courts," she informed him.
Owen promptly went over and clapped Neal on the shoulder. "It was good knowing you," he told the older boy solemnly." (Neal, Kel, and Owen, 188)
- Am I the only one who thinks Owen is just the funniest!!!!? And remember that quote about Happy? That was so sweet... And sad...

"You have no nerves," he said bitterly.
"Just as well, because you have too many." she retorted." (Neal and Kel, 209)
- Yeah. Yeah, he really does. Imagine his paranoia when his daughter tries for her shield!

"Most girls don't have a covey of boys whacking them with sticks every morning." (Kel, 58)
- I just like the wording, don't you? A covey of boys whacking them with sticks.... Heehee.

"If this isn't friendship, what is?" he asked cheerfully. "After people abuse my body all morning in the courts, I'm going to let you bruise me some more." (Neal, 63)
- And they wonder why I love Neal?

"Reporting for inspection, general, sir!" barked Seaver as he gave a brisk salute...
Kel put her hands on her hips. "What is this? You came to me because I'm the girl?" she asked, mock indignant.'
"Of course not. You just have an eye for these things," repied Neal.
"When it isn't black," Esmond murmered, and grinned." (Seaver, Kel, Neal, and Esmond, 69)
- I like Esmond. Except what he said about Kel's worrying about Lalasa too much. But still.

"If we pick a fight, we're just as bad as them. Combat should be used just to help people who can't defend themselves, period."
"Well, if I don't fight back, and they pound on me,then I'm one of the people I should be defending," said Esmond.
Kel, still holding Merric, looked at her freckled yearmate. "Did that even make sense?" she asked Esmond.
He smiled crookedly. "We have to stand up to them, Kel. Otherwise they'll keep doing this to us," he said. (Kel and Esmond, 80)
- I really like that quote too. Funny.

"...when it came to herself, Kel was terrified to speak up. She would hate it if Neal were no longer comfortabe with her. Better to be a coward and still be his friend." (Kel, 92)
- Can I relate to that...

"Proud?" Lalasa repeated in a whisper. "But-my lady-I threw you into a door. After all your kindnesses, and teaching me when I've hardly been grateful..."
"What I've been teaching you, among other things, is how to throw me into doors." Kel grinned as she got to her feet." (Lalasa and Kel, 137-138)

"Adversity builds charachter?" Neal suggested one bitter morning when she was taking a breather.
She looked at Peachblossom. "Bite him," she ordered. The gelding, as contrary as a cat, blew at her.
"All right, how's this? He knows you're far better than most of us, and he's trying to make you better still." When Kel blinked at him, Neal shrugged. "Or we could go back to him being a Stump who lives to torture you. I like that one better anyway." (Neal and Kel, 171)
- Remember wha Tobe said, that Peachblossom just likes the way Neal squeals when he gets bitten.

"Honor is not nessesary when fighting thieves." (Alanna)

"You can't do anything from the grave." (Alanna)

"I don't like killing when I don't have to." (Alanna)

"...No sense of humor and he rejects change just because its change." (Alanna)

"Not everyone is afraid to do anything new." (Alanna, 4)

"Reflect as if you have all of time, even when time is short." (Ilane, 9)

"I want to be like that, she told herself as she always did. I want to protect people. And I will. I will. I'll be a hero one day, just like Mama. Just like the Lioness. (Kel, 25)

"...she pointed to yet another piece of writing: Girls Can't Fight! Salma's mouth twisted wryly. "What do they think their mothers do, when the lords are at war and a raiding party strikes? Stay in their solars and tat lace?"
That made Kel smile. "My aunt lit barrels of lard and had them catapulted onto Scanran ships this summer."
"As would any delicately reared noblewoman." Salma opened the door." (Salma and Kel, 33)
- *laughs*

"I suppose I'm being rash and peculiar, again," remarked someone in a drawling voice, "but if it means helping my friend Joren improve his studies, welll, I'll just have to sacrifice myself. There's nothing I won't do to further the cause of book learning among my peers."
Everyone turned toward the speaker, who stood in the back of the group. Seeing him clearly, Kel thought that he was too old to be a page. He was tall, fair-skinned, and lean, with emerald eyes and light brown hair that swept back from a widow's peak.
Lord Wyldon absently rubbed the arm he kept tucked in a sling. "You volunteer, Nealan of Queenscove?"
The youth bowed jerkily. "That I do, your worship, sir." There was the barest hint of a taunt in Nealan's educated voice.
"A sponser should be a page in his second year at least," Wyldon informed Nealan. "And you will mind your tongue."
"I know I only joined this little band in April, your lordship," the youth Nealan remarked cheerfully,, "but I have lived at court almost all of my fifteen years. I know the palace and its ways. And unlike Joren, I need not worry about my academics."
Kel stared at the youth. Had he always been mad, or did a few months under Wyldon do this to him? She had just arrived, and she knew better than to taunt the training master.
Wyldons eyebrows snapped together. "You have been told to mind your manners, Page Nealan. I will have an apology for your insolence."
Nealan bowed deeply. "An apology for general insolence, your lordship, or some particular offense?"
"One week scrubbing pots," ordered Lored Wyldon. "Be silent."
Nealan threw out an arm like a player making a dramatic statement. "How can I be silent and yet apologize?"
"Two weeks." Keladry was forgotten as Wyldon concentrated on the green eyed youth. "The first duty for anyone in service to the crown is obidience."
"And I am a terrible obeyer," retorted Nealan. "All these inconvient argument spring to my mind, and I just have to make them."
"Three," Wyldon said tightly.
"Neal, shut it!" someone whispered.
"I could learn-" Kel squeaked. No one heard. She cleared her throat and repeated, "I can learn on my own." (Neal, Wyldon, and Kel, 38)
- I like that. I wonder if he actually had to do that?

"Gods of fire and ice, bless my new home ...Keep my will burning as the heart of the volcano, and as hard and implacable as a glacier." (Kel, 48)

"I'll work hard, she promised herself. I'll show everyone what girls can do." (Kel, 52)

"...When you get too comfortable... someone hands you a suprise." (Eda Bell, 55)


No, I didn't just type all this just now, I had it from before. If I see a quote and I like it I type it up or write it down, and the copy and paste was a great invention. I still have too much time on my hands. Can you tell?

I can relate to that one. it's happend to a lot of the girls/women from my karate class. Even to one of the black belts. People see our bruises from sparring, and think we're in an abusive relationship.

That line has made me think so much. I keep walking around my house when suddenly it will pop into my head. It's haunted me since I finished the book.

It reminds me of the quote from Sabriel 'Does the walker chose the path or the path the walker'

The problem is, not everyone is happy with who you really are. Thats never stopped me though. The people in my class think I am strange for reading your books, but then, they wouldnt know till they try - or they can get the books! I think that is why alot of people are commiting suicide and things like that. The people they are surrounded with dont like the way they really are, the way they look. They try to change themselves, and then when it doesnt work, they cant handle it. I think it is really sad that there are those people who prey on the extremly sensitive ones. One person Kel reminds me of is my best friend (she lives in Western Australia now, though) She stood up for herself and others; kel: she fought bullies, hence the name of the series: Protector of the small.

'Lord Raoul wishes me to inform you that if you get yourself killed he will never speak to you again'

Katy.

That's been true all along--people think they know how people ought to be, and they try to pressure themselves and everyone around them into being that, with the result that they're unhappy, dissatisfied, and wondering what they're missing. Then they go and pick on people who are obviously not trying to be what they think is right, just so others won't look at them and wonder.

Conformity is ridiculous. It's always better to be comfortable in your own skin than to accept somebody else's ideas of who you ought to be. I learned that the hard way, and hope I can get more people to see that you can't worry about what others think you should be, only about what makes you able to be happy with yourself.

“No person is your friend who demands your silence.”

*not pointing any fingers* My whole calss is like that *still isnt pointing any fingers* I am still learning who really am, but right now all I kno is what I have been told
'you are crazy'
That made me run around screaming 'I'm crazy I'm crazy' (lotsa fun)
And about what you said about being comfortable in your own skin, Tammy. It is easier. I am australian. (heh-heh. For location I put 'The Land of Crikey') We are mostly lazy, but we still put in the work that needs to be done. You would think that because we are sorta lazier then the rest of the world we couldnt be bothered pestering people to be different, and we couldnt be bothered trying to change ourselves to fit in, but just like everyone else we do, and alot of people end up being hurt from it; the persons friends, and mainly anybody who thought they knew them. I know my hate list well:
Snobby People
People who try to change people
Pasco
pasco
Pasco (ok the rest of the list is pasco. I am obbsessed. *they wont let me in Emelan!*)

And I just realised I made a speech. *is scared* I dont usually do this, but I feel so strongly against this subject.


.:|katy|:.

Katy.

Katy that's really sad how they think you're crazy. People with formed Ideas of who we should be drive me CRAZY. I wear "boys" shorts and people ask me stuff that they don't ask every other gurl in the school. i don't think I need to elaborate. Its really sad how people think you have to look a certain way to be a certain way. Does that make sense? If you do something different like reading books, makes them think you're crazy then Pardon me but their sad. Sorry i too made a speech. How did Numair put it "...You're too young to be so close minded." That applies to them.

Kate

.:|katy|:.
I will admit that i am eccentric, but, well, if i was crazy i would be in a mental hospital right now wouldnt i? Dont worry. I dont like being as rude as I am but, this has to be said: My class is sad.
History is boring because tv says so
books are boring because nobody on tv reads them
Tamora Pierce books suck because Katy reads them
its fun to annoy Katy because her best friend lives on the other side of the country now
if books are any good they would be on tv
Katy sucks at singing, because she can do it
Katy also sucks at the flute, just because she can do it and we cant
we'll glare at Katy because she knows things we dont
we'll call Katy crazy because she reads books, and she is different, and because we feel like it.

Ok, that list could go on FOREVER, but I wont. This boy in my class was actually stalking me for a bi, but I told the principle and she took care of it.

Conclusion:
I feel so much better now!

Katy.

Ack! No! We love you Katy!
Heehee. That's why you're a member of sheroes, no? So you can come and vent and we support you. I am CAP! (crazy and proud, for those not lucky enough to be on the AOL tammy fan club) and I am lucky enough to go to a school where EVERYONE is CAP.

Reading this made me think of something. I was at my friends youth group last night... hold on and let me get the paper...ok it said "Many times we point out the flaws in others becasue it makes us feel better about ourselves. If we expose sin in others, no one will notice the sin in our life. Maybe we also want to feel like "everyonre does it.." like we are"ok". "Also, my mom and I were taling about bullies, about how maybe they are mean because if they "have control" over their victims, it makes them feel like they can control something in their life. Not exactly the best thing to be doing, though. Sorry people at your school sterotype so much. They do at mine too.

Some people think your cute and sweat, Kind, nice and gentle, but, my friend, i know your round the bend, and positivly mental! -my friend sent me this is a card!

I haven't read LK yet, but that line of Neal's reminds me of what Eleni Cooper told Alanna in Alanna: The First Adventure:

I agree with that one so much. I wish there was more understanding in the world.

My absolute all time favorite part of any Tammy book I have ever read (which, sadly, does not include Lady Knight) is...

"That night, when the king knighted him, Neal wore Yuki's delicate, deadly shukusen in his belt."

I love that part so much. It is so sweet, and oh, it makes me want to cry, but in such a good way.

  

I didn't like that part... I wanted Neal for Kel, but I have to be happy b/c my Neal was happy

*blushes* I did cry. My mum walked into my room, andsaw me crying and she goes 'Katy whats the matter?' and I show her the line, and because mum hasnt read the book, she didnt know who Neal and Yuki were she just gave me a look.

Make her read the books! I'm working on my mom, so far without success, just so she'll stop asking me why I'm squeaking while I read.

ohhh...i had so many from LK but i lent my copy away to a friend so i can't check them!!grrrrrr!!!

i don't remember the wording but i loved the part when Wyldon kissed Kel's forehead at the end and said...something...urm...i can't remember. but i loved it.

from Squire: (also not word for word) I am sick of this! Call me what you like, say I'm without honor! I don't care! I'm not getting on anymore horses to wack you people with a stick!

I definetly felt shivers after Kel's original speech to the refugee camp in LK. It was really impressive.

I found one! there are so many of those little quotes that move me I couldn't find or rememver any (just my luck). but I found one...well two really..someone already said the first one. The one where Neal says 'you're the ways you were made....' or something to that extent. The other one I remebered frome LK was:
"It's hard to be brave when you feel the gods have turned their faces from you."
I dunno, maybe cause it could apply to so many people that have lost hope. just made me shiver a litte.

In Wild Magic, when Pirate's Swoop is under attack, Kally is upset because her being a princess is what makes the coughCarthakiscoughcough attack the Swoop. Daine tells her that it's never the fault of the person acted upon, it's the person doing the acting...*scurries for book*

"Those men would do this no matter who they're after...Evil people say evil things to make good people cry and doubt..."

I dunno, that scene just always makes me kind of sad. Poor Kally.

But it's not just Kally. Bad people will always try to make you think it's your fault when they do something vile to you. Nobody *makes* anybody who really doesn't want to do anything. If someone says you made them do something bad, tell them it's a crock. People do bad things to others because they want to do bad things.

A rapist will tell you that you made him rape you because you dressed provocatively, or you let him take you somewhere alone, so it's your fault he forced himself on you. An abuser will tell the people s/he abuses that they made her/him do it. It's just a move calculated to make the person who's acted upon blame her/himself, rather than assign blame to the one who deserves it.

Feel a little strongly about this, Tammy? Naaaah.

It's hard to quote exactly, but at the end of Tris's book, when she and Niko were talking about the attack and how they needed to work on control b/c of her actions, that was profound. The Circle Opens has a LOT of that profoundness near the end of the books because each one experiences something that changes them forever. It's more of how the theme moves me than the quote.

Hi

this is one of my favorite quotes it's more funny than moving
Page
"It's not right" Seaver announced abruptly.
"What's not right?" Neal asked.
"When Cleon talks to us he doesn't do that."
Seaver frowned at Cleon. "You don't call us rose or pearl. If you don't talk to us like that you shouldn't do it to her."

I just like that one and another one that is moving
Squire- when Kel is talking to Buri

"Your an idealist, Kel. I've noticed that about you. See, I try to beat idealism out of Rider trainees. It just ruins their ability to give a fair report. So long as there are nobles and commoners, the walthy and the poor, those wih power will be heard, and those without will ignored. That's the world."
"I don'tr accept that," Kel said grimly, shredding her bun without eating it.
"I didn't say you should," Buri replied.

it just gives me the chills how Buri sumed up the problems with the world and told kel it's all right not to accept it.

I love so much from all of the books but one of my favourite bits is when Kel gives that speech on chivalry to the study group. It's just wonderful.

This one isn't exactly moving but it i can read it a bazillion times and it will still make me smile like a lunatic- right after Wyldon tells Kel she can stay, she yells this-
"Neal! Roald, Seaver, Merric, i can stay, I can stay!!"

I have been trying not to reread the Song of the Lioness too many times, so I haven't in a couple of months, the Immortals in even longer, and all of Protector of the Small since a couple months ago also (except Lady Knight of course, which was a couple of weeks ago), but from the top of my head I think of one major quote, and then another, both from Lioness Rampant (even though I THINK my favorite book is In the Hand of the Goddess), although I had to go back to the books to find the exact wording.
The less "shivery," just kind of cool:
There's all the stuff leading up to it, in her conversation with the ressurected Duke Roger...
"You know something? There are sandstorms that strip man and horse and bury them--I've seen them. I saw bones piled higher than my head for the folly of a bad king and those who wanted his throne. I lived through a blizzard that froze every other living creature sold Against those things, you're only a man. I can deal with you."

More pop into my head as I look at the book again, but it's late and my mom wants me in bed soon, so I'll just do this quote:
Alanna has returned from her quest into the stuff of fables, and just arrived back in Corus, or its outskirts:

'"Glad to be home?" George asked.
"Yes."
He reached to wipe a tear from her cheek. "It's been that long a journey, has it?" he whispered.
Alanna met his eyes. In their hazel depths she saw a degree of love that frightened her as it warmed her. '

It's that last part I like, but seperating it to explain took away from it. That line makes everything concerning her and Jonathan all right, no matter how much I love Jonathan, George was the right one, and no matter how many "book fives" (where Alanna marries Jonathan) that my friend makes up out loud to annoy me will it change it. It is so nice and wonderful and I wish I could write good stories.
There are tons more quotes in Lioness Rampant alone, but I really have to go to bed, my mom is yelling at me.

One of the coolest things about this entire thread is seeing that people noticed and appreciated things I really put a lot of work into that wasn't some kind of major event in the book: Daine's advice to Kally, what Alanna tells the resurrected Roger, Neal's comment that Kel's the way she was made, Buri telling Kel she beats idealism out of the trainees, that there can be so much love in someone's eyes that it can scare you as well as warm you. The lines don't take up a lot of the space in the story, but they're all from my heart. It's just really nice to know that I didn't just throw some of the things I feel about deeply out into a vaccum.

SUPPORT G R O G. . . THE REAL PYRATE DRYNKE

  

Tammy- Maura Plaid and I sit back stage qouting and adding voices to the books, we have big chunks meorized. We also have pretend sword fights- agggghhhh the lives of 14 year olds

Kate

I love all those little bits you throw out, the ones that relate to everything!!! I agree with just about all of them, except for the one by Buri- Idealism (to me, at least), is the fire, the passion, the will that makes me want to go out there and do something to make the world a better place. I can't just let these things happen. I don't get into fist-fights like Kel (in any case, I'm usually the one being picked on) but when it comes to people, man, I get really riled up. I understand that warriors usually go by "It's not our to question why, It's just ours to do and die," but I could never do that. I argue politics with people in school who simply go by the opinions of thier peers, and it irks me.

On a lighter note, One of my favorite parts is at the end of In the Realm of the Gods when Daine is in the Great Gods' court, and she fights on the behalf of Stormwings- Anything that makes mortals re-think war has to be good, right? While I don't agree with what the Stormwings do (What if those people didn't choose to be warriors or soldiers? What about the animals, and those who were drafted in by the government, or those who were forced in by family? It had a lot of meaning- War isn't good, and it should only be a last resort. Not like what's going on now in America. Why people can't solve thier problems with words is beyond me.

On the whole pressure to fit in thing- I hate it. I go through each school day waiting to go home, because my peers, even most of the ones who claim they don't ridicule others, are terrible. They expect you to fit in one little steryotype, and if you don't, well, sucks for you! Somehow, I always wind up being the one picked on- thus why all my friends are outside of school. If there's anyone in my school who isn't like that, than I just haven't met them. On a side note (slightly relevant)-I was walking down the hall today and there's this frosh who's got really bad back problems, and this guy in my grade (who's part of the 'popular' crowd) comes up behind him, and kicks down the kid's wheeled bag (you know, those suitcase/backpack hybrids for people with back problems) because it was the 'cool' thing to do. I just can't stand it. I accept myself for who I am, and people are always ridiculing me for it. Why is school so terrible?

Can't we tell how much I *love* my school?

"It is one thing to out-think a man, and quite another to out-smart him"

Buri is being her usual, K'mir-practical self. (Remember, she's not particularly imaginative.) She figures real idealists are like bread; you have to punch them down really hard so when they rise again they don't overflow the pan and get burned to a crackly crunch.

Can you write an anonymous letter to the school paper about the incident with the kid whose bag got kicked? Don't use any names or anything that might specifically identify the kid (maybe just say "has problems getting around"), and ask how cool is it to pick on people who can't fight back? Why isn't it cool to pick on someone who can fight back? Maybe only cowards pick on people who can't fight back.

Yep--I'm mad about this, too. And they wonder how Columbines happen.

Call me violent , crazy, whatever- But had I seen that incident that boy would have been slapped VERY hard. I can't STAND when other kids pick on kids with disabilities.

This is our informed, non-biased world where it doesn't matter what you look like but who you are? What are my other choices?

Kate

Hey Tammy (and everyone else),
Could you people please read this for me? I'm going to give it to my school newspaper, but I wanted to know some people's opinions before I submitted it.
Some notes: I left out the fact that this kid is disabled. It shouldn't matter to people (and definatly doesn't matter to me). What happened was just wrong. Not only that, but the person who was picking on this kid was the leader of the school's "Students for Cultural Acceptance" club. Ironic.

Then again, I'm crazy. What do I know?

"It is one thing to out-think a man, and quite another to out-smart him"

using words to solve problems sometimes is worse than fighting...really...words can touch you in a way physical means never could...yet...they don't damage you physically...which i guess is good...but words can be used to twist good people bad...and bad people good...when someone agrees to a treaty...or an alliance...or whatever...if you haven't noticed, many antagonists and evil people in general...agree to bargains they'll never hold up their end of...it sucks really...because then it sometimes makes you rethink who you can trust...i'm not sure if that's happened to anyone really...it has most likely...but anyways...
that must be so awful...to be picked on constantly...but...think about it...the 'popular' crowd usually doesn't care about grades and academics...they're the shallow incompetent folk who'll get drunk one day and (if they're a girl) get pregnant...or have a mediocre job...(sorry, i've read and seen this happen too much)...which begins to remind me of the witchy/wiccan rule of three(whatever you do in life comes back to you three times in force(or something)...do something good, it'll come back to you three times better...do something bad, it'll come back to you three times worse(again, i read too much))...and the golden rule

I just LOVE the chapter Falling in the Immortals eries. I can't remember exactly what was said but..yeah. I absolutly LOVE the guys out og POTS books. here r a few qotes I couldn't stop giggling over (some you may think is a little weird but hey, what can i say? I am weird) lol


* 'Last chance to collect bruises of me'
Neal shuddered. 'Thanks,' he said. 'I've gotton all the bruises off you this year that I want'

* 'Iasked Onua-horsemisteress to the Queen's Riders-to help me find a mount who could get on with your charming horsie.'

well I would do heaps more but I'm tired and...yeah sorry. Long story short; I LOVE Neal, Dom, Cleon, Merric and sorta Owen and Faleron and the rest. Anything that Dom, Cleon or Neal says just makes me go giggly. (Neal because of his sarcasim, Dom because of his humor and Cleon because of his sweetness)

I especially like the Princess Flower thing. I just couldn't stop laughing at that! I really like the chapter Cleon!

OK, one more qoute

* Raoul fiddled with his cup. "As for issues of the body- sex, pregnancy, and so on- perhaps you should discuss those with a woman." he cleared his throat. "If you want to discuss them with me, it is my responsibility-"
"No, no!" Kel interupted, alarmed. She didn't know which one of them would be more embarrased. She didn't want to find out. "I'll ask Mama, truly I will!"
Rauol grinned at her, his cheeks redder than usual. "Oh good. I'd probably make a botch of it. I've talked with young men of course, but even that's rare. Usually by the time I get them they know where babies come from."

In Lady Knight there is a quote that reminded me of my friends at the AOL Tortall/Circle message boards. Its something Neal said (i'm in computer class at school and my book is at home so i can't look it up) but it basically says, we should call be put in a large room with strong men to keep us from hurting ourselleves... or something like that. I forget it!!! Brain fart! ::passes the brain fart gas:: I'll find it later...

Ok, I just thought of quote that moved me (this time it really is moving)

When the door closed behind Myles, Raoul rested his face in his hands. "That fathead Glaisdan," (ok, maybe only that part is funny) he said, his voice muffled. "He kept telling me that one Tortallan horsemen was the equal of ten northern savages." "Maybe they are," said Flyndan dourly. "It's the eleventh savage that gets you."
-Squire, pg. 327

One quote that gave me shivers was in First test at the end of chap.1 is

I want to be like that, she told herself as she always did. I want to protect people. And I will. I will I'll be a hero one day, just like Mama. Just like the Lioness. Nobody would kill two kittens in front of me then.
Mostly the kitten part.

I think the greatest thing about reading is the POWER of pen and paper, George Orwell in Animal Farm, was an outright attack on Russia. Before the book people didnt see it, he opened there eyes and ears. William Goldings book Lord of the Flies, is creepy but he express a point almost potently. And I read Tamora Pierce books and see similar ideas expressed just as potently, but more on our level, and with characters we can relate with more. I read these books, and the quotes in them and see how they interact with the modern world, and are not necessary for one time period. I got off track sorry, I dont think I could name any quotes that havent already been listed. Sometimes I think its funny how people regard you as odd if you read a lot, but books are such powerful weapons of knowledge, and strength, I dont understand how anybody could feel that way. I love your books Tammy keep writing, and I hope -fingers crossed- to see more Tortall books and circle books in the future.

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

"The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it." Michelangelo

I agree, it is really sad that people who don't read a lot do not realise how important books are. They give us knowledge, and ideas- they make us see the world differently.

I couldn't live without books- well I could but I wouldn't want to. They keep my imagination alive! That's some peoples problem- the ones who don't like books, mainly- they have absolutley NO imagination! And don't you think that, that'd make the world a sadder place- if people couldn't imagin and couldn't dream?

I believe that books- any writing really- makes an impact on people whether the writer means it to or not.

Do it not for yourselves or your teachers or your monarchs. Do it for the kingdom. Do it for us all.
That one gives me shivers.
"I've decided," Neal said "She's insane. The entire palace is insane."
don't you ever get tired of asking questions?" Kel asked "Never, the're mothers milk to me..." he answered.

-Hazlenut (I meant to spell it wrong)

"Here lies the sorceress of Alois, who loved the people who killed her." That quote always sticks in my head, and it gives me the shivers.

"There are plenty other fish in the sea besides Jonathan, and this particular fish loves you with all his crooked heart." Makes me swoon every time.

And from Lady Pain, another book: "Empires always fall, Scion."

I like this one from Harry Potter:
"What do you see in the mirror professor Dumbledore?"
"Socks." Harry + Dumbledore
LOL

and this:

"We could be killed, or worse, expelled."
"She needs to sort out her priorities!" Ron + Hermione

& in T.P:

"I can't believe i've justheard the best lesson in chivalry from a 10 year old!" Neal

and this one maked me shiver:

"You will find it when it comes to you." Chamber of Ordeal
