Bob Shaw Quote

"I can make neutrons dance to a new tune, but I shrink from telling a human tick to fasten onto someone else." -Bob Shaw; 'Ground Zero Man'

Flashman on Nationality

"I don't think that of all the beastly things that man ever did, or all the terror he caused me, that there was anything as loathsome as that casual marking of my skin for de Gautet to cut at.  There is only one word for it - it was German.  And if you don't understand that I mean, thank God for it."  -Flashman

Flashman on Soldiers

"It was a common custom at that time, in the more romantic females, to see their soldier husbands and sweethearts as Greek heroes, instead of the whore-mongering, drunken clowns most of them were.  However, the Greek heroes were probably no better, so it was not so far off the mark."  -Flashman

Insight into Drama

Daily Kos Quote

Legal Quote

"What man's law shall bind you if you break your yoke but upon no man's prison door?
What laws shall you fear if you dance but stumble against no man's iron chains?
And who is he that shall bring you to judgment if you tear off your garment yet leave it in no man's path?" -Kahlil Gibran

Lame Quote

"You are good when you walk to your goal firmly and with bold steps.
Yet you are not evil when you go thither limping.
Even those who limp go not backward. But you who are strong and swift, see that you do not limp before the lame, deeming it kindness." -Kahlil Gibran
