Er wünschte jedem Menschen pro Tag zehn Hühner in den Topf, er wünschte jedem sein Wasserklosett mit Lautsprecher, er wünschte jedem sieben Automobile, für jeden Tag der Woche eines.

Dann müssten ja die Beherrscher der Ölfelder und der Kohlegruben wahre Engel sein!”

“wolves and lovers…
wolves and lovers,
restless and running wild,
we need more than an ordinary love
and a tamed life
because some aches are made of everything.
craving. everything. from the soul-deep to
being tangled up in heartbeats and
bite marks and body heat…
driven by instincts and drunk on moonlight,
we need a life made of things
we can chew on,
and nights where we find ourselves
when we lose a little sleep
and we feel the blood in our veins
and the passion in our chests like kerosene…
so i'll go with you, if you'll come with me…
and we'll burn… we'll run… we'll love.”

“Wolves are such a powerful example of sticking power. They teach us to see things through, approaching life, our projects, our relationships and growth with determination and passion. However, the wolf sees clearly and makes informed decisions. They know when a kill is not worth making, they know when it is better to say 'not this time'. They ask you to cleverly access and weigh up, listening and considering the perspectives of your mind, body and soul. They encourage you to ask 'does this really contribute to my soul's path, my heart's joy or the benefit of humanity?'" Rachel S Roberts, WOLF. An inpsirational Guide to embodying your inner Wolf.”

The use of assassins she had filed as yet another of the curious tools - like swords and bows — that humans created to make up for their lack of personal armament.
