More From Ellis Peters

I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.

They called themselves the souls. they told ms. olinski that they were the souls before they were a team, but she told them that they were a team as soon as they became the souls. then after a while, teacher and team agreed that they were arguing chicken-or-egg. whichever way it began--chicken-or-egg, team-or-the souls--it definitely ended with an egg. definitely, an egg.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.

Grandmother pointed out my brother perry, my sister sarah, and my sister eliza, who stood in the group. i had never seen my brother nor my sisters before; and, though i had sometimes heard of them, and felt a curious interest in them, i really did not understand what they were to me, or i to them. we were brothers and sisters, but what of that? why should they be attached to me, or i to them? brothers and sisters were by blood; but slavery had made us strangers. i heard the words brother and sisters, and knew they must mean something; but slavery had robbed these terms of their true meaning.

My brother could not write about trifles. even in society he became animated only when some serious discussion was engaged in, and he complained of feeling 'a dull pain in the brain'--a physical pain, as he used to say--when he was with people who cared only for small talk.
