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
Read, or you will be missing something extraordinary.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Utterly bleak and black is not the sum of realism. All the other colors are real, too.

Some people grow into their dreams, instead of out of them.

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.
