Additional quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold

Truth is always War’s first victim, the old saying went.

Growing up, I have discovered over time, is rather like housework: never finished.

You don’t pay back your parents. You can’t. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It’s a sort of entailment. Or if you don’t have children of the body, it’s left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
