So, shading my eyes against the blue and fiery afternoon, I began searching for ways to convince the authorities of this. Lying, I decided, was probably best.Roger Zelazny

I feel obligated to point out, though, that I have always been a sucker for ideas I find aesthetically pleasing. The cosmic sweep of the thing - an interstellar kula chain - affirming the differences and at the same time emphasizing the similarities of all the intelligent races in the galaxy - tying them together, building common traditions...

You are one of the few successful persons I know."" Me? Why?""You know precisely what you are doing and you do it well."" But I don't really do much of anything.""

Of course you do, of course you do! But it is a matter of style, an awareness of choice– .Roger Zelazny
