“I was running, jumping, zigging, and zagging as crossbow boy fired arrow after arrow at me.”
John P. Logsdon, Sinister: Unhallowed

Niccolò Machiavelli
“He who becomes a Prince through the favour of the people should always keep on good terms with them; which it is easy for him to do, since all they ask is not to be oppressed”
Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

“There’s nothing you can do about growing older, and I should know. But growing up? That’s entirely at your own discretion.”
Nick Moseley, Spectre's Rest

A.R. Moxon
“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”
A.R. Moxon

“His Infernal Majesty leans towards me confidingly. “You have imposter syndrome,” He says, “but paradoxically, that’s often a sign of competence. Only people who understand their work well enough to be intimidated by it can be terrified by their own ignorance. It’s the opposite of Dunning-Kruger syndrome, where the miserably incompetent think they’re on top of the job because they don’t understand it.”
Charles Stross, The Labyrinth Index
