~Marguerite Duras

"It is useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office."
~Shirley MacLaine

"Great passions, my dear, don't exist: They're liars' fantasies. What do exist are little loves that may last for a short or a longer while."

~Kate Beckinsale

Have heard of Heinlein, haven't read any of his books, I guess I should. Haven't heard of Spider Robinson, does he write scifi as well?
Hope you had a nice christmas, we did!
