Lois McMaster Bujold
Some people grow into their dreams, instead of out of them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I'd storm heaven for you, if I knew where it was.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.
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
I've always tried to write the kind of book I most loved to read: character-centered adventure.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Most people go through their whole lives without killing anybody. False argument.
Lois McMaster Bujold
The will to be stupid is a very powerful force, but there are always alternatives.
Lois McMaster Bujold
A weapon is a device for making your enemy change his mind.
Lois McMaster Bujold
