I don't confuse greatness with perfection. To be great anyhow is the higher achievement.
Lois McMaster Bujold
It’s important that someone celebrate our existence, she objected amiably. People are the only mirror we have to see ourselves in. The domain of all meaning. All virtue, all evil, are contained only in people. There is none in the universe at large. Solitary confinement is a punishment in every human culture.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Surely only correct understanding could lead to correct action.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I've got forward momentum. There's no virtue in it. It's just a balancing act. I don't dare stop.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Never argue with a pedant over nomenclature. It wastes your time and annoys the pedant.
Lois McMaster Bujold
