Famous quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold:
"War is not its own end, except in some catastrophic slide into absolute damnation."
"What you are is a question only you can answer."
"When you can't do something truly useful, you tend to vent the pent up energy in something useless but available, like snappy dressing."
"You kill me so courteously"
"They imagine they're the wave of the future, but it's only sewage flowing downhill"
"The gods' most savage curses come upon us as answers to our own prayers, you know"
"Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart."
"A good friend of my son's is a son to me."
"The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them."
