“New rule: every fantasy author who doesn't treat horses like tireless hairy motorcycles automatically gets a Hugo.”

“Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”

“Guilt is a tireless horse. Grief ages into sorrow, and sorrow is an enduring rider.”

“Even now, he is every blue blazer getting into cab, every runner along the river,every motorcycle coming and going.”

“Remember the Golden Rule? "Treat people as you would like to be treated." The best managers break the Golden Rule every day. They would say don't treat people as you would like to be treated. This presupposes that everyone breathes the same psychological oxygen as you. For example, if you are competitive, everyone must be similarly competitive. If you like to be praised in public, everyone else must, too. Everyone must share your hatred of micromanagement.”

“Victor Hugo was a madman who thought he was Victor Hugo”
