More From George R. R. Martin

It is true to say that for me sanctity consists in being myself and for you sanctity consists of being yourself and that, in the last analysis, your sanctity will never be mine and mine will never be yours, except in the communism of charity and grace. for me to be a saint means to be myself. therefore the problem of sanctity and salvation is in fact the problem of finding out who i am and of discovering my true self.
Being Yourself Mean Who I Am
If pressed to supplement tweedledee's ostensive definition of logic with a discursive definition of the same subject, i would say that logic is the systematic study of the logical truths. pressed further, i would say that a sentence is logically true if all sentences with its grammatical structure are true. pressed further still, i would say to read this book.
Book Definitions Systematic
Virginia woolf wrote, "across the broad continent of a woman's life falls the shadow of a sword." on one side of that sword, she said, there lies convention and tradition and order, where all is correct. but on the other side of that sword, if you're crazy enough to cross it and choose a life that does not follow convention, "all is confusion." nothing follows a regular course. her argument was that the crossing of the shadow of that sword may bring a more interesting existence to a woman, but you can bet it will be more perilous.
Crazy Lying Fall
You named your sword fire? fire? what kind of a boring name is that? you might as well name your sword 'blazing blade' and be done with it. fire indeed. humph. wouldn't you rather have a sword called sheepbiter or chrysanthemum cleaver or something else with imagination?
Fire Names Imagination
We have become too civilized to grasp the obvious. for the truth is very simple. to survive you often have to fight, and to fight you have to dirty yourself. war is evil, and it is often the lesser evil. those who take the sword perish by the sword, and those who don't take the sword perish by smelly diseases.
War Dirty Fighting
Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
