“Which is just a fancy way of saying, "I think about it a lot, day and night."”
"Publishing, Writing, and Authoring", p. 67
The Vorkosigan Companion (2008)
Contexte: I attack both from the logic-side, scribbling outline after outline, and the long-walk relaxed-visualization-side, and while neither alone is enough, the combination synergizes. Which is just a fancy way of saying, "I think about it a lot, day and night."
Lois McMaster Bujold Vorkosigan Saga
Vorkosigan Saga, Mirror Dance (1994)
Contexte: It's important that someone celebrate our existence... People are the only mirror we have to see ourselves in. The domain of all meaning. All virtue, all evil, are contained only in people. There is none in the universe at large. Solitary confinement is a punishment in every human culture.
