  5. A quotation from Lincoln

    In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God’s purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Essay (1862-09-02?), “Meditation on the Divine Will” (frag.)

  6. #PennedPossibilities 709: Tell us how your MC and antagonist (or villain) know each other.

    Well I guess the MC of my current project (Dark Shadow) only knows the Shentahn (group of Greater Friends aiming to upend human civilization) from hearing about their existence and aims. He's on an adventure to learn more about them to dismantle their plans. On the other hand, The Shentahn knows Kurai by way of their efforts to revive great terrors that have been sealed away. Kurai was one of those terrors.
