He now lives outside Orlando, Florida. You ...more

Mainly because I like both of them, but also because they provide such an unlikely but well matched couple. One is a charming conman, and the other is a cynical feminist who cannot be conned. (less)

Quotes by D.L. Morrese  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“What you see depends on where you stand.”
D.L. Morrese

“I am a level one administrative android with full cognitive and decision-making capabilities. Your request does not meet criteria for approval.”
D.L. Morrese, An Android Dog's Tale

“But people die every day, and it is not your job to save them. Their lives are short. Few make it to a single century. Most die before they reach much over half that. You’ll see thousands die during the course of the project, and it’s something you’re going to have to come to terms with. Don’t get too attached to the primitives.” The”
D.L. Morrese, An Android Dog's Tale

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”
Terry Pratchett, Diggers

“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
Terry Pratchett, Jingo

“It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.”
Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

“Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.”
Terry Pratchett
