Portrait Plum Paint-by-Numbers for Geena!
Hope you like them!
1. Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence. (Vito tries, he really does!)
2. Great necessities call forth great leaders. (How is this Torey's life.)
3. Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken. (Jason's spell can only last for so long.)
4. I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life....Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe. (He keeps busy.)
5. A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world. (You wear a mask just to fit in.)
6. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. (David and Angela marry.)
7. I am more and more convinced that man is a dangerous creature and that power, whether vested in many or a few, is ever grasping, and like the grave, cries, 'Give, give.' (They're both more than convinced of this.)
8. I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic. (There's flexibility, and then there's just confusion.)
9. If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women. (Historical AU: Augustine educates all his children.)
10. Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so; but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since. (It's hard to be a woman. Always.)
11. Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues. (Michael's got more than enough experience.)
12. May justice and righteousness be the stability of our times. (It's a nice dream, but they both know it's only a dream.)
13. The Habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. (Sight AU: Torey knows this is bullshit.)
14. How much more merciful God than man. (L, on Maria.)
15. He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god. (She's never been sure which she is.)
