Lois McMaster Bujold
This is important! But you have to stay absolutely cool. I may be completely off-base, and panicking prematurely. I don't think so. I think you're panicking post-maturely. In fact, if you were panicking any later it would be practically posthumously. I've been panicking for days.
Lois McMaster Bujold

Lois McMaster Bujold
The world demands I make good choices on no information, and then blames my maidenhood for my mistakes, as if my maidenhood were responsible for my ignorance. Ignorance is not stupidity, but it might as well be. And I do not like feeling stupid.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Only the saints would joke so about the gods, because it was either joke or scream, and they alone knew it was all the same to the gods.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If there's no game, isn't winning a pretty meaningless concept?
Lois McMaster Bujold
I spent my 20s working in patient care at a large university hospital, an experience that has informed all my work and has given me a lot of human observation to draw on.
Lois McMaster Bujold
When you give each other everything, it becomes an even trade. Each wins all.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I am an atheist, myself. A simple faith, but a great comfort to me, in these last days.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I'm sorry. I can love you. I can grieve for you, or with you. I can share your pain. But I cannot judge you.
