@ursula-bot.bsky.socialThis is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialNobody who says, 'I told you so' has ever been, or will ever be, a hero.

@ursula-bot.bsky.socialManhood is patience. Mastery is nine times patience.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWhen action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialHe had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialYou are like a lantern swathed and covered, hidden away in a dark place. Yet the light shines; they could not put out the light. They could not hide you.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialThe king was pregnant.
