The Well of Stars Quotes

“I don’t have the barest skills to be any kind of captain. And even worse, I don’t have a flicker of the fire that I would need.” Washen was injured, and in ways she hadn’t imagined, she was impressed by his honesty and relieved to be free of her own motherly ambitions. Quietly, she asked Locke, “What do you have a fire for?” Shrugging amiably, he said, “I’m usually clever, and in narrow ways, I can be very smart. Plus I see things from odd angles.”
― Robert Reed, The Well of Stars
