eleanorae, regina anglorum

"Of course he has a knife. He always has a knife. We all have knives. It's eleven eighty-three and we're barbarians.

How clear we make it. Oh, my piglets, we're the origins of war. Not history's forces nor the times nor justices nor the lack of it nor causes nor religions nor ideas nor kinds of government nor any other thing.

We are the killers; we breed war.

We carry it, like syhpilis, inside.

Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten.

For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little? That's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for. We have such possibilities, my children. We could change the world."
-Queen Eleanor of Acquitaine, "The Lion in Winter"

How true. Did I mention I love this movie?

For some reason this quote reminds me a lot of Shirin.

Yes, because I am such a religious extremist :P.

And Queen Eleanor of Acquitaine is really a very good role model. She's a very good schemer (sp?) and debator and can drive nearly every one mad.

And I wouldn't call myself that young of a girl. My haf birthday was just a few days ago.
