“Any man can be kind when he is comfortable. I’d always thought kindness a trivial virtue, therefore. But when we were hungry, thirsty, sick, frightened, with our deaths shouting at us, in the heart of horror, you were still as unfailingly courteous as a gentleman at his ease before his own hearth.” “Events may be horrible or inescapable. Men have always a choice—if not whether, then how, they may endure.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, The Curse of Chalion

“the hobbit, who liked holes to make a house in but not to spend summer days in, felt that he was being slowly suffocated.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

“I can tell you truths. I cannot give you understanding. For how can one give what one does not possess? I have always told the truth.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, The Curse of Chalion
