Quote by Piet Emmer

“Slavernij is iets gewoons. Daar hoeven wij ons helemaal niet voor te schamen. Wat we moeten proberen uit te leggen is waarom er in West-Europa na 1450 geen slavernij meer was, maar elders in de wereld nog wel. Ik zou de stelling aandurven dat West-Europa mét slavernij nog rijker was geworden en economisch harder was gegroeid dan zonder slavernij.”

“Het zou kunnen zijn dat als je zwart bent je andere dingen in de geschiedenis ziet dan wanneer je blank bent. Dat geef ik graag toe. Ik wil daar echter niet over spreken. Als de onderzoeker niet kan worden ingewisseld vindt er een soort geschiedschrijving plaats waar ik geen deel aan wil hebben. Of de onderzoeker nu zwart of blank is, je hebt bronnen en je probeert een zo goed mogelijk objectief beeld te geven. Ik begrijp dat er een andere geschiedschrijving bestaat, maar die wil ik er niet bij betrekken.”

“Today, many of us are trying to understand just what male and female energies are, since we are calling old rigid stereotypes into questions. There is a risk of replacing such stereotypes with even more politically correct rigid stereotypes. The destructive aspect of the masculine has been emphasized in recent years, but both the feminine and the masculine have destructive sides. (The evil witch in fairy tales is an example of the destructive feminine.) Love is the ultimate nature of everything; it is not just the feminine that is loving. We tend to think of female energy as nurturing because it is undirected—it includes everything—but perhaps one could say that the feminine loves and nurtures in a being way, and the masculine does so in a doing way. We are each capable of loving in both ways.”

“The goddess of death visited me in a dream. “A job well done, son of Tyr,” she said. “Your mother is safe. I may even grant you permission to visit her from time to time.” Warring emotions bubbled up in my gut then—anger at how my mother had been treated, and elation that one day I might get to see her again. Elation won out. “I look forward to that,” I said. “And I’m glad your dog is back home, even though he’s destined to kill my dad. But right now, do me a favor.” I rolled over and pulled up the covers. “Go to Helheim.”

“READY FOR the next one?” I lip-read T.J.’s question and nodded. He slid a flash card with a handwritten swear word on it across the table, then watched me with gleeful anticipation. Smiling faintly, I opened my mind and focused on the dagaz runestone in my hand. Magic flowed through me like water through a pebbled stream. The stone warmed, and I signed the swear. I felt sound vibrations in the air, then T.J. fell back onto his bed, shaking with laughter. I gave him a look and signed three words: Pull yourself together. “Right. Sorry.” T.J. grinned. “It’s just . . . hearing cuss words come out of thin air like that cracks me up every time.”
