strandia
in no order, again,except for number 1.
1) MORGAINE SPEAKS... In my time I have been called many things: sister, lover, priestess, wise-woman, queen. The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley
2) You better not never tell nobody but God. The Color Purple, Alice Walker
3) Snow, tenderl caught by eddying breezes, swirled and spun in to and out of bright, lustrous shapes that gleamed against the emerald-blazoned black drape of sky and sparkled there for a moment, hanging, before settling gently to the soft, green-tufted plain with all the sickly sweetness of an over-written sentence. To Reign In Hell, Steven Brust - a phenomal retelling of the revolt in Heaven with a sci-fi slant.
4) A flock of nuns crossed the road, their crisp wimples fluttering about their heads like the wings of large sea birds. The Eight, Katherine Neville
5) Mary Ann Singleton was twenty-five years old when she saw San Fransisco for the first time. Tales of the City, Armistead Maupin
6) It was a nice day. Good Omens, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
7) Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. A People's History of the United States: 1492 - Present, Howard Zinn
8) My lifelong involvement wit hMrs. Dempster began at 5:58 o'clock p.m. on the 27th of December, 1908, at which time I was ten years and seven months old. The Deptford Trilogy, Robertson Davies
9) A mile above Oz, the Witch balanced on the wind's forward edge, as if she were a green fleck ofthe land itself, flung up and sent wheeling away by the turbulent air. Wicked, Gregory Maguire
10) Oh, Gotara, eternal spirit, guardian of all things born unto this land - - behold! Elfquest Original series, Wendy & Richard Pini
and just to make it interesting, the LAST lines
10) "...it was my GIFT to my son. He was the first of us to have the right to call the land his own. If you choose, Wolfriders, you, too, have that right - and NONE cantake it from you."
9) "Not yet."
8) "Egoist!"
7) They would have to demand access in their own way
6) Slouching hopefully towards Tadfield... ...forever.
5) "It's Colombian."
4) But the elixir of life.
3) Satan had learned.
2) Amen
1) Her work was done.
You know, first lines are so much more interesting than last lines. But last lines carry more punch.
Going to bed now, as my vacation is over and I must return to work. Of course, it waited until the night before I go back to snow. All week nothing. Now, I just hope the plows are out before I leave.
