Robert Lindner

I was a woman in a man's world. I was a Democrat in a Republican administration. I was an intellectual in a world of bureaucrats. I talked differently. This may have made me a bit like an ink blot.

Jeane Kirkpatrick

Ann Richards

Maya Angelou

Publilius Syrus, Moral Sayings

I was attracted to science fiction because it was so wide open. I was able to do anything and there were no walls to hem you in and there was no human condition that you were stopped from examining.

Octavia Butler

Adam Hochschild

Jerry Pournelle

George Berkeley

The wrath of brothers is fierce and devilish.

Proverb

Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.

Vince Lombardi
