Okay this sucks. The novel has NOT being going well. It's barely been going, and only on page 55 or so. Which is really, really crappy.



OTOH, my LoLad (Lords of Life and Death) novel is going great and short stories for it are coming out of me like someone denting the porcelain god after too much beans and corn for supper.



Ah well. It's all word count. Yes....



And, shortly, I shall begin to plot it in earnest! (If only he would help)

Power tends to corrupt...

"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad man."


- Lord Acton





I find it rater amusing since everyone knows the first part, but few know the quote quotation. Much like


I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.


- Thomas Jefferson



Which is really:


The clergy believe that any portion of power confided to me, will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly: for I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyrrany known to the mind of man.


- Thomas Jefferson



Nothing to do with the novel. Just an amusing bit of knowledge.
