Quotes

He is a worthy enemy - but that's just to say, he would not be worthy an he were not able; but he would not be an enemy were he not evil.
...but businessmen check them out - and those two were merchants.  If they stray too far from the facts, they go bankrupt.
For this 'honor' that thou dost hold dear, this 'face' thou speakest of , is most truly but thine own opinion of thyself.  We commonly suppose that 'tis what others think of us, but 'tis not so.  'Tis simply that most of us have so little regard for ourselves, that we believe others opinions of us to be more important than our own.  Therefore have we the need to save our countenances - our 'faces,' which term means only what others see of us.  Yet we know that only by what they say they think of us - so our 'faces,' when all is truly said, are others' opinions of us.  We feel we must demand others' respect, or we cannot respect ourselves.
Let me tell you what that is - a rationalization.  It's giving something the appearance of rationality, of reason, when it doesn't have the reality of it.  It's finding a way to justify what you want to do, any way.  It's finding an excuse from somthing you've already done - a way to make it seem to be good, when it really isn't.  That's all you're doing here - tying to find a way to make the wrong things you want to do, seem right.  All your arguments really boil down to, 'I want power, so I'm going to take it.' ...

Author(s)

Christopher Stasheff  
Birth: 15 Jan 1944 Mount Vernon, New York, USA
Death: 10 Jun 2018 Champaign, Illinois, USA

Notes:
From the "About the Author" secton in Mind Out of TIme:

Christopher Stasheff (1944 - 2018) spent his early childhood in Mount Vernon, New York, but spent the rest of his formative years in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  He always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compromise by teaching college.  When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time.  He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.  He tended to prescript his life, but couldn't understand why other people never get their lines right.  This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children.  He seeks refuge in fantasy worlds of his own making, and hopes you enjoy them as much as he does.

Christopher died in 2018 from Parkinson's Disease.  He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, willingness to guide and mentor any who asked, and for his witty sense of humor.  His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
