Selected Wisdom:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. — Dr. Seuss<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Popeye before me, I am what I am.
— Seanan McGuire<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It actually takes remarkably little to make something look like an ancient tradition.
— Nancy Lebovitz<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need Bogarty sorts of men: men of the world, who are somewhat outsiders and unconventional, but contemporary, and who struggle for a higher ethical path. There are some, but they get drowned out in all the garbage. And we need more. You can never have enough of them.
— Lucy Kemnitzer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion,
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning,
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
–Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medieval Europe was full of gifted techies.
It’s just that most of them weren’t real big about writing it down.
–Teresa Nielsen Hayden<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t the future. This is some fake plastic future. This is a soy-based future substitute.
— Fafnir<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is not actually a penguin on top of your monitor; lay off the caffeine
