This was the face of slavery. To have nothing, and still have something more to lose.

Kevin Hearne Hounded
Now, I will be the first to admit that human life was not worth much to my generation in the Iron Age, but Flidais and her kind are forever rooted in Bronze Age morality, which goes something like this: If it pleases me, then it is good and I want more; If it displeases me, then it must be destroyed as soon as possible, but preferably in a way that enhances my reputation so that I can achieve immortality in the songs of bards.

He loathes what he has left behind him, and it is natural to guess that, in his first years of priesthood, his religious nature slept; that he became a priest and notary merely that he "might eat a morsel of bread"; and that real "conviction" never was his till his studies of Protestant controversialists, and also of St. Augustine and the Bible, and the teaching of Wishart, raised him from a mundane life.

Ron Chernow Grant
At 8:08 a.m. on July 23, 1885, Grant died so gently that nobody was quite certain at first that his spirit had stolen away. His death reflected words he had once written to a bereaved widow during the Mexican War, saying that her husband had died as a soldier dies, without fear and without a murmur. Grant's corpse weighed ninety pounds and lay under an oval picture of Abraham Lincoln. It was hard to believe this wizened form represented the earthly remains of the stouthearted general. I think his book kept him alive several months, Twain wrote upon hearing the news. He was a very great man and superlatively good.

The city was submerged in its lethargy of centuries, but there was no lack of those who caught a glimpse of the sallow face, the fleeting eyes of the uncertain knight with his mourning taffetas, whose carriage left the walled enclosure and headed cross-country toward the hill of San Lázaro.
