My home is not a place, it is people.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Mia Maz glanced aside in concern at his muffled snort. Are you all right? Yes. Sorry, he whispered. I'm just having an attack of limericks. Her eyes widened, and she bit her lip only her deepening dimple betrayed her. Shhh, she said, with feeling.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If the truth doesn't save us, what does that say about us?
Lois McMaster Bujold
