Ditto. (Well, cut "this evening," as I'm catching up on several day's worth of posts.) Or what about "Ifni rewards those who persevere creatively themselves," to tinker with an old adage? ;) Of course, like stubborness, perseverance can be pathological too. Another main theme I find compelling is 'with freedom comes responsibility' (sorry, don't recall an exact quote that states that, although "Duty, duty, brave shark-biter; what reward could taste better?" comes close. That's one of _Streaker's_ fin officers, to Toshio the midshipman, in _Startide Rising_, IIRC.) Debbi who is herself a paragon of sweet reason, with not an ounce of stubborness in her character... ;} __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
