“I have seen him laugh in pure delight, standing on the dock at Vorkosigan Surleau and yelling instructions over the water, the morning I first sailed, dumped, and righted the skimmer by myself. I have seen him weep till his nose ran, more dead drunk than you were yesterday, Ahn, the night we got the word Major Duvallier was executed for espionage. I have seen him rage, so brick-red we feared for his heart, when reports came in fully detailing the stupidities that led to the last riots in Solstice. I have seen him wandering around Vorkosigan House at dawn in his underwear, yawning and prodding my sleepy mother into helping him find two matching socks. He's not like anything, Ahn. He's the original.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, The Vor Game

“Orah je zlo stablo. Guši sve oko sebe. Iz korijenja i lišća luči smolu od koje nevine biljke ne mogu proklijati. Oko oraha ne raste ni trava. Orah konkurenciju ne prihvaća, toliko je oholo to stablo. I plod mu je zastrašujući. Razbij ga kamenom i pod drvenastom ljuskom razotkrit će se sićušna skulptura ljudskog mozga, a ima li na svijetu strašnije stvari od čovječjeg uma?”
― Želimir Periš, Mladenka kostonoga

“Listen--are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?”

“Sometimes the biggest disasters aren’t noticed at all–no one’s around to write horror stories.”
