It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

If the south had won the war, would Turtledove write about what would have happened if the Union had won?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Such a monumental change would probably mean Harry Turtledove and 99% of the rest of us born in the past 145 years were never born. Somebody else would have to tell of the American Empire defeating Spain, Japan, Germany and the USSR. Or more likely, a resurrected Byzantium and Indians riding dinosaurs.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Actually, he already wrote that one.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

In an ironic turn of events, winning the war gained you the large infestation of muds that will slowly eat away at your society until it is a rotting husk.

So from Hell's heart, the confederacy stabs at thee.  :hmm:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

You would be lost without me as your guiding light, dimples, and you know it.  :hug:
