"Moral issues rarely have yes or no answers.-Myles to Alanna when she asks about the Gift."

Morality

"Briar: "So I guess I was the last to know." Rosethorn: "Of course you are. You're a man, aren't you?"

Insight

"Curiosity killed the cat, Fesgao remarked, his dark eyes unreadable.Aly rolled her eyes. Why did everyone say that to her? "People always forget the rest of the saying, she complained. "'And satisfaction brought it back."

Curiosity

"Once she was certain, she didn't waiver. I had to make her stop for water or a bite to eat. She obeyed, but she was restless. As clear as if she spoke to me, she was saying, "Very well, I know you want to keep my strength up, but scent fades, you know!"And I'd say, "I know, girl, but you're what I have and I'm going to take care of you."

Responsibility

"Yes Headwoman Azaze. But I never lie to Rosethorn. She, um, discourages it.""Evvy and I have an understanding." She grabbed the teakettle and poured hot water into the mug. "She tells me the truth, and I don't hang her in the first well we come to. It's a solution that works tolerably well for both of us."

Integrity

"Pounce had it easier than any of us. No one noticed a black cat in the street. He stopped here and there to sniff aught of interest. Wherever our Rat stopped, Pounce was there, close enough to see up the Rat's nose. I was so proud. Now there was a proper god, making himself useful!Since my thought might be deemed blasphemy, I said silent prayers to the Goddess and to Mithros. I begged forgiveness and asked them not to misunderstand. Since I wasn't blasted where I stood, I guess they forgave me, or they hadn't heard my blasphemy."

Spiritual

"I'm not so fond of people myself, Evvy, but I took my vows for a reason. There are two classes of people in the world, the destroyers and the builders. I want to build, not destroy. You need to ask yourself who you're going to be."

Choice

"Excuse me," she said politely. "But you can't have him. Not yet. He's going to come back with me."

Care

"She's all over us like maggots on garbage, just because I interfered with one pickpocket yesterday."

Humor

"You ride as a man, fight as a man, and you think as a man-""I think as a human being," she retorted hotly. "Men don't think any differently from women- they just make more noise about being able to."
