I've got a 50 mile round trip commute Monday through Friday, so I listen to a lot of audio books. I'm currently in the middle of Ironhand, Book Two of the Stoneheart Trilogy, by Charlie Fletcher. It's YA (a tad darker than Harry Potter) and is about a young Londoner who gets caught up in a struggle between Spits (walking, talking statues) and Taints (soulless, inhuman statues-- gargoyles, etc) in a different "layer" of London (or "UnLondon"). It's not too bad, really, and a couple times I've sat in my parked car because I was caught up in a good part.
Anyway, yesterday I heard this exchange, and it reminded me of SK (and Inspirations):
Quote:"It's grit," insisted the Gunner. "He may not have known exactly what 'e was signing up for, but 'e knew it'd be rough. And he did it for the girl. He wouldn't leave her in the lurch, and good on him I say."
Dark humor danced in the Walker's eyes. "Yes, good on him, as you say. Good on him for protecting the girl, good on him for caring, good on him most of all for showing me what he cares about, because if you find out what a man cares about, then you can take it and threaten it, and then you have a lever. And with a lever and the right place to put it, you can move the world. And I shall move the world. I shall change everything."
