“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 ease before his own hearth.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, The Curse of Chalion

“I don't want power. I just object to idiots having power over me.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, Barrayar

“Aim high. You may still miss the target, but at least you won't shoot your foot off.”
― Lois McMaster Bujold, Miles in Love
