I will not debate with you Dark Elf. By the swords of the Noldor alone are your sunless woods defended. Your freedom to wander there wild you owe to my kin and but for them long since you would have laboured in thraldom in the pits of Angband. And here I am King and whether you will it or will it not my doom is law. This choice is given to you: abide here or to die here and so also for your son. - J R R Tolkien You stared at the stranger in front of you and decided, categorically, that this was no longer your son. Or you made the decision to find whatever scraps of your child you still could in what he had become. Was that even really a choice, if you were a mother? - Jodi Picoult I didn't literally kill Indians. We were supposed to make you give up being Indian. Your songs and stories and language and dancing. Everything. We weren't trying to kill Indian people. We were trying to kill Indian culture. - Sherman Alexie My friend Kate once went to a concert of Mongolian throa...

Behind him Kaldar nudged Urow's youngest son. "Bet you he lasts at least thirty seconds." "Um..." Gaston looked at him. "No he won't." "Bet me something." "I don't have anything." Kaldar grimaced. "Pick up that rock." Gaston swiped the rock off the ground. "Now you have a rock. I bet this five bucks against your rock." Gaston grinned. "Deal. - Ilona Andrews I love to run. I was challenged to run the New York marathon four months after having my youngest son, and since running isn't a big part of softball, the thought of a marathon was a stretch for me. - Jennie Finch I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! That's everyone in the family!" "What are Fred and I, next-door neighbors?" said George indignantly, as his mother pushed him aside and flung her arms around her youngest son. - J K Rowling My youngest son, who is now the drummer ...

I worked with my son when he was much younger; we did L.A. Law together, where I played his father and he played a kid who was suing his father for alienation of affection or something. It was great. - Rene Auberjonois Anthony sneezed and pushed them aside. "Mother, I am trying to have a conversation with the duke." Violet looked at Simon. "Do you want to have this conversation with my son?" "Not particularly." "Fine, then. Anthony, be quiet. - Julia Quinn Relax, Phyra. I'd be more concerned if he were in here with my son than with my daughter. The biggest threat he poses is he might want to borrow her shoes.

I knew what could happen to my son if he was sent to the wrong school and got in with the wrong crowd. - Diane Abbott The monarchy that I hand over to my son is not going to be the same one that I have inherited. - King Abdullah Ii To my son, If you are reading this letter, then I am dead. - Cassandra Clare The love of glory is like the bridge that Satan built across Chaos to pass from Hell to Paradise: glory links the past with the future across a bottomless abyss. Nothing to my son, except my name! - Napoleon Bonaparte Whenever I got home late, I'd always go to my son's room first, to see his sleeping face. Sometimes I was seized by a desire to squeeze him so hard he might break. - Haruki Murakami ...when I was angry at God because I couldn't go to my son, hold him, and comfort him, God's son was holding my son in his lap. - Todd Burpo He wouldn't give up, but if i am strict and force myself now to decide upon the precise moment in this whole story when my ...

I do not overlook the fact that the appearance of these new, free nations in the European political community not only celebrates the return of the prodigal son but also creates new sources of friction here and there. - Hjalmar Branting If the prodigal son had never left home, the fatted calf would still be alive. - Chuck Palahniuk The Mayor about the fable of the Prodigal Son: 'But he came home.' 'Yes, his courage failed him. He felt very alone on that pig farm. There was no branch of the Party to which he could look for help. Das Kapital had not yet been written, so he was unable to situate himself in the class struggle. Is it any wonder that he wavered for a time, poor boy? - Graham Greene If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home. - Vance Havner There are men regarded today as brilliant economists, who deprecate saving and recommend squandering on a national sca...

One of the reasons why when Elvis dies or the Son of Sam is captured ABC News' ratings go up is because people who don't normally watch news are watching then. The question is, do you want to attract people who don't watch network news or fight over the people who do? - Roone Arledge Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I've ever met. Son of Sam is a close second. - Geezer Butler My father was against the death penalty, and that was hard in the Son of Sam summer when fear was driving the desire for the death penalty. - Andrew Cuomo I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up - blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff. - John Tesh

And here I am King and whether you will it or will it not my doom is law. This choice is given to you: abide here or to die here and so also for your son. - J R R Tolkien Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition, but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express. - Joseph Addison I have never understood why it is called losing a child. No parent is that careless. We all know exactly where our sons and daughters are; we just don't necessarily want them to be there - Jodi Picoult You stared at the stranger in front of you and decided, categorically, that this was no longer your son. Or you made the de...

But Blake infused hope in his music. Love was the only song he knew how to play. - Debra Anastasia The first strains of organ music filled the church. Blake. His playing brought Livia a wide, warm smile. The music was supposed to be reverent. It was supposed to slow the world down for prayer. But Blake infused hope in his music. Love was the only song he knew how to play. - Debra Anastasia and even now we labor in our residual gloom, until in your only Son we become your righteousness; for that righteousness is like God's high and holy mountains, while your judgments, which were all the being we then had, are like the deep. - Saint Augustine Of Hippo God didn't send His only Son to die on the cross so that we can hide behind our guilt, shame, and pride. - Heather Bixler Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him. - George Bernard Shaw Life was just a tire swing. 'Jambalaya' was the only song I could sing. Blackberry pickin', eatin...

I remember my oldest son, Steve, saying to me once, 'I don't ever remember seeing you with an apron on.' And I thought, that's right, honey, you did not. That was his concept of what a mother should be. - Lauren Bacall My oldest son always wants to race. He's kind of like me and it now has carried over to the other two. They're all pretty competitive now. We do stuff in the pool. They're like fish in water. They go all over the place. They're kids. They like to play, have fun and compete with everything they do. - Steve Blake I'm the oldest son of a crazy man, I'm in a cowboy band. - Bob Dylan I didn't particularly feel like being arrested, so I argued with the soldiers a bit. Several of them died during the argument - those things happen once in a while. Unfortunately, one of the casualties was Taur Urgas' oldest son. The king of the Murgos took it personally. He's very narrow-minded sometimes. - Silk - David Eddings I've co...

What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms... or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy. - George R R Martin Most of us are not so strong. What is humor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? Or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory and our great tragedy. - George R R Martin

My sons ought to study Mathematicks and Philosophy, Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation, Commerce and Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to study Painting, Poetry, Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry and Porcelaine.
