“You seem to fit the part all right. Your technical record is first-class. Your disciplinary record stinks to high heaven.' He eyed his listener blank faced. 'Two charges of refusing to obey a lawful order. Four for insolence and insubordination. One for parading with your cap on back to front. What on earth made you do that?'

'I had a bad attack of what-the-hell, sir,' explained Leeming.”
Eric Frank Russell, Next of Kin

“For months we have been making triumphant retreats before a demoralized enemy who is advancing in utter disorder.”
Eric Frank Russell, WASP

“If one would praise the Almighty, one must then revel in His works, and take them whole, adore their very grossness, savor the oozing quiddity of that slime of which He seems to be inordinately fond. Love is not nice. God's love assuredly is not; and human love, its copy, must not presume to be so.”
Eric Frank Russell, The Great Explosion
