Peter S. BeagleWe are our own dragons and our own heroes. We must rescue ourselves from ourselves.
Peter S. BeagleDon't look back and don't run. You must never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention.
Peter S. BeagleAh. My story. Are you certain you wish to hear it? It is long, unlikely, and remarkably unedifying -- shameful, even, to come from a minister's lips. Blasphemous, too, properly regarded.

I don't really speak that person's language anymore, and when I think about her, she embarrasses me sometimes, but I don't want to forget her, I don't want to pretend she never existed. So before I start forgetting, I have to get down exactly who she was, and exactly how she felt about everything. She was me a lot longer than I've been me so far.
