More quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold
Events may be horrible or inescapable. Men have always a choice - if not whether, then how, they may endure.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If you can't be seven feet tall, be seven feet smart.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Any man can be kind when he is comfortable. I'd always thought kindness a trivial virtue, therefore. But when we were hungry, thirsty, sick, frightened, with our deaths shouting at us, in the heart of horror, you were still as unfailingly courteous as a gentleman at ease before his own hearth.

Since no one is perfect, it follows that all great deeds have been accomplished out of imperfection. Yet they were accomplished, somehow, all the same.
Lois McMaster Bujold
When the time comes to leap in faith whether you have your eyes open or closed or scream all the way down or not makes no practical difference.
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.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Honesty is the only way with anyone, when you'll be so close as to be living inside each other's skins.
Lois McMaster Bujold
For me, writing is more a process of discovering the book than planning it.
Lois McMaster Bujold
What you are is a question only you can answer.
Lois McMaster Bujold
My home is not a place, it is people.
Lois McMaster Bujold

Lois McMaster Bujold
If there's no game, isn't winning a pretty meaningless concept?
Lois McMaster Bujold
I am not schizoid. A little manic-depressive, maybe. 'Know thyself.' We try, sir.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I'd storm heaven for you, if I knew where it was.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Suicidal glory is the luxury of the irresponsible.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Do it for yourself. The universe will be around to collect its cut later.
Lois McMaster Bujold
One of the best things about writing is how it redeems, not to mention recycles, all of one's prior experiences, including or perhaps especially the failures.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Poets speak of hope in ladies smiles, but give me a smirk any day, I say.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
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
