Book cover for Assassin's Fate (The Fitz and the Fool, #3)
‘Never do what you can’t undo until you’ve considered well what you can’t do once you’ve done it.’

Marcus Aurelius
“Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn't matter. Cold or warm. Tired or well-rested. Despised or honored. Dying...or busy with other assignments. Because dying, too, is one of our assignments in life. There as well: "To do what needs doing." Look inward. Don't let the true nature of anything elude you. Before long, all existing things will be transformed, to rise like smoke (assuming all things become one), or be dispersed in fragments...to move from one unselfish act to another with God in mind. Only there, delight and stillness...when jarred, unavoidably, by circumstances, revert at once to yourself, and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help. You'll have a better grasp of the harmony if you keep going back to it.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Groucho Marx
“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.”
Groucho Marx

Groucho Marx
“I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.”
Groucho Marx

Henry Ford
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”
Henry Ford

John Scalzi
“Here's a quick rule of thumb: Don't annoy science fiction writers. These are people who destroy entire planets before lunch. Think of what they'll do to you.”
John Scalzi
