PARDON, v. To remit a penalty and restore to the life of crime. To add to the lure of crime the temptation of ingratitude. — Ambrose Bierce

I say no wealth is worth my life! Not all they claim
was stored in the depths of Troy, that city built on riches,
in the old days of peace before the sons of Achaea came-
not all the gold held fast in the Archer's rocky vaults,
in Phoebus Apollo's house on Pytho's sheer cliffs!
Cattle and fat sheep can all be had for the raiding,
tripods all for the trading, and tawny-headed stallions.

no raiders in force, no trading brings it back,
once it slips through a man's clenched teeth.
Mother tells me,
the immortal goddess Thetis with her glistening feet,
that two fates bear me on to the day of death.
If I hold out here and I lay siege to Troy,
my journey home is gone, but my glory never dies.
If I voyage back to the fatherland I love,
my pride, my glory dies ...
true, but the life that's left me will be long,
the stroke of death will not come on me quickly. — Homer

I love houses, all the things they tell me, so that's one reason. I don't mind working as a cleaning woman. It's just like reading a book. — Lucia Berlin

We can't save ourselves from fear by seeking safety, because safety always means there's something to be safe from-in other words, something to fear. The way out of fear isn't safety. It's freedom. — Martha Beck
