Read "The Silken-Swift".

Read "The Dark Room".

Read "The Wages of Synergy".

"He never slept, but was among those who slept. He could not laugh without the realization that he was among the laughers. He no longer moved in a static universe, or rested while the world went by, for his every action had too obvious a reaction. Unbidden, his mind made analogies to remind him of this, inverting everything to illuminate this unwanted duality."

Read "And My Fear Is Great"

"Don’t they ever imagine a super-race has super-feelings, too."

"There is in certain living souls
A quality of loneliness unspeakable,
So great it must be shared
As company is shared by lesser beings."

Read the titular "Saucer of Loneliness"

"They hated our quiet; they hated our understanding. They sent missionaries to change our ways."

Read "The Touch of Your Hand"

"The World Well Lost" - What a sweet tale. Exemplary portrayal of DADT, and LGBTQ solidarity, from way before either were things labelled.

Read "The Touch of Your Hand". There are certain megalomaniac(s) who could've benefited from having this read to them as a bedtime story once upon a time, perhaps.
