"Surprisingly, therefore, there is something very unexpected about this sword. It isn't magical. It hasn't got a name. When you wield it you don't get a feeling of power, you just get blisters; you could believe it was a sword that had been used so much that it had ceased to be anything other than a quintessential sword, a long piece of metal with very sharp edges. And it hasn't got destiny written all over it it.
It's practically unique, in fact."
-- Pterry again, and this quote is so, so true.

Found the exact wording here. "How can'st thou be out of breath, when thou hast the breath to say to me that thou art out of breath?"

Never heard of that one. I love it; she makes such a good point.
