He's not too short. He's just... concentrated.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I think 99 percent of women's lib comes from technology making different kinds of lives possible, and then the social adjustment follows the technology - it doesn't precede it.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If the truth doesn't save us, what does that say about us?

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
I don't confuse greatness with perfection. To be great anyhow is the higher achievement.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If you make it plain you like people, it's hard for them to resist liking you back.
Lois McMaster Bujold
One step at a time, I can walk around the world. Watch me.
Lois McMaster Bujold
When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Miles added it to his life's lessons list. Call it Rule 27B. Never make key tactical decisions while having electro-convulsive seizures.
Lois McMaster Bujold
From fried witchetty grubs to gold-plated turnips, when you're a writer you never know what's going to appear on your plate next. It keeps a woman alert, it does.
Lois McMaster Bujold
