Book cover for Genuine Fraud
Let me just be grateful that I’m here on this beach, and not feel like I’m supposed to be striving all the time.”

Rick Riordan
“Percy pulled Annabeth close and kissed her...long enough for it to get really awkward for Piper, though she said nothing. She thought about the old rule of Aphrodite's cabin: that to be recognized as a daughter of the love goddess, you had to break someone's heart. Piper had long ago decided to change that rule. Percy and Annabeth were a perfect example of why. You should have to make someone`s heart whole; that was a much better test.”
Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

Walter M. Miller Jr.
“That contraption -- listen, Brother, they claim it thinks. I didn't believe it at first. Thought, implying rational principle, implying soul. Can the principle of a 'thinking machine' -- man-made -- be a rational soul? Bah! It seemed a thoroughly pagan notion at first. But do you know what?"

"Father?"

"Nothing could be that perverse without premeditation! It must think! It knows good and evil, I tell you, and it chose the latter.”
Walter M. Miller Jr., A Canticle for Leibowitz

Mary Beard
“Cato was the most vociferous enemy of Carthage, notoriously, tediously but ultimately persuasively ending every speech he made with the words ‘Carthage must be destroyed’ (‘Carthago delenda est’, in the still familiar Latin phrase).”
Mary Beard, SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome

Mary Beard
“In extending citizenship to people who had no direct territorial connections with the city of Rome, they broke the link, which most people in the classical world took for granted, between citizenship and a single city. In a systematic way that was then unparalleled, they made it possible not just to become Roman but also to be a citizen of two places at once: one’s home town and Rome.”
Mary Beard, SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome

“I mean Jesus never asked a man to do a damn thing that Jesus didn’t do.”
Walter M. Miller Jr., A Canticle for Leibowitz
