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.

People give themselves to you, in their talking, and in other ways, if you are quiet and patient and let them, and not in such a damned rush to give yourself to them you go bat-blind and deaf.
Lois McMaster Bujold
A price is something you get. A cost is something you lose.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Like integrity, love of life was not a subject to be studied, it was a contagion to be caught. And you had to catch it from someone who had it.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I've always tried to write the kind of book I most loved to read: character-centered adventure.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I've described my usual writing process as scrambling from peak to peak on inspiration through foggy valleys of despised logic. Inspiration is better when you can get it.
Lois McMaster Bujold

Lois McMaster Bujold
A hundred objective measurements didn't sum the worth of a garden only the delight of its users did that.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Bleeding ulcers run in my family, we give them to each other.

It was suicide, wasn't it? In an involuntary sort of way, said Vorob'yev. These Cetagandan political suicides can get awfully messy, when the principal won't cooperate. Thirty-two stab wounds in the back, worst case of suicide they ever saw? murmured Ivan, clearly fascinated by the gossip. Exactly, my lord.
