Quotes
- “It is an easy, and terrible, mistake to make, to think your will is God’s will.”
- “Only miscalculation could kill you in interstellar war. The equations were hard but they were fair.”
- “The freefall sex? Grossly oversold. Everything moves in all the wrong ways. Things get away from you. You have to strap everything down to get purchase. It’s more like mutual bondage.”
- “I do not trust the memory. Imaginings too easily become memories, memories imaginings.”
- “That old saw about a problem shared being a problem halved? Damnable lie. A problem shared is a problem doubled.”
- ““Hey!” the people cried in their dreams. “Give us back our ghosts!” for ghosts are as much a part of a community as its plumbing or its library, for how can a community be without its memories?”
