Selected Wisdom:
We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. — Dr. Seuss
Like Popeye before me, I am what I am.
— Seanan McGuire
It actually takes remarkably little to make something look like an ancient tradition.
— Nancy Lebovitz
We need Bogarty sorts of men: men of the world, who are somewhat outsiders and unconventional, but contemporary, and who struggle for a higher ethical path. There are some, but they get drowned out in all the garbage. And we need more. You can never have enough of them.
— Lucy Kemnitzer
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion,
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning,
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
–Unknown
Medieval Europe was full of gifted techies.
It’s just that most of them weren’t real big about writing it down.
–Teresa Nielsen Hayden
This isn’t the future. This is some fake plastic future. This is a soy-based future substitute.
— Fafnir
There is not actually a penguin on top of your monitor; lay off the caffeine
— Seanan McGuire
