About Holly

There is no way to soften the blow of this and Mom never liked euphemisms, so I’m just going to speak plainly.

Mom died due to complications from cancer on the 27th of August. Yes, this was the cancer that she’d originally had that had gone into remission. She had been dealing with this for 2 years, but demanded it be kept private. A handful of folks knew, and that’s all. I know some of you hav

Quotes by Holly Lisle (?)

“Adventures are only interesting once you've lived to see the end of them. Before that, they are nothing but fear, and being too cold or too hot or too wet or too hungry, and getting hurt.”
― Holly Lisle, The Silver Door

tags: adventure, attitude, survival

“I have never yet figured out what to do about good advice that you get, and that you know right away would help you, but that you cannot follow.”

“Guilt is a good friend, isn't it? It will stand at your back when every other friend has abandoned you, and in the face of all reason it will stay by your side, and even when you tell it, "I am moving on now," it will say, "I shall never leave you; never."
If only I could find a lover as faithful as guilt.”
― Holly Lisle, Talyn
