Quotes by E.M. Foner (?)

“The ambassador was part of the special remedial dating program,” Jeeves explained. “All of the other species on the station sign up with a dating service to find their best match, but some humans can’t coherently describe what they want for breakfast, much less for the rest of their lives.”
― E.M. Foner, Wanderers On Union Station

“How many G’s can your body tolerate without permanent damage?” In Joe’s experience, nothing good ever came from responding to this type of question.”
― E.M. Foner, Date Night on Union Station

― E.M. Foner, Turing Test
