Virtue is admirable, but boring. - John Twelve Hawks

It took me years to realize that a computer would never truly be able to say cogito ego sum although dozens of lurid Hollywood movies about robots want to leave that impression. A computer thinks....that is, it realizes it has been switched on...but it doesn't know it exists.

There was no need to worry about religion or philosophy; the truth was determined by whoever was in power.

The warrior uses the power of the brain to be deliberate and the power of the heart to be instinctive.
