“But even if we succeed in that part, we have a second problem, maybe bigger, in the weakness of international courts generally.” “Do you think they’re weak?” Tatiana gave Mary a sharp look, as if to say Please be serious. “Nations agree to them only if they like their judgments.

― Kim Stanley Robinson, The Ministry for the Future

“Truth be told, most of us are faking our way through life. We pick only those battles we are sure to win, only those adventures we are sure to handle, only those beauties we are sure to rescue.”
