More from Lois McMaster Bujold

  1. Hands are integral with brains, almost another lobe for intelligence. What one does not know through one's hands, one does not truly know.
  2. Vorreedi stated dangerously, 'I am not a mushroom, Lieutenant Vorkosigan.'
  3. Hi, I'm a hero, but I can't tell you why. It's classified.
  4. In my experience, milady, we can never get back to exactly where we started, no matter how hard we try.
  5. When you can't get what you want, you take what you can get.
  6. You can't give power away and keep it simultaneously. Except posthumously.
  7. 'You must kill if you expect to survive.'
  8. Behavior that is rewarded is repeated. And the reverse.
