"My guess is, they couldn't sleep, and they had the kind of generous nature that reckons insomnia isn't something you hoard all for yourself, you share it with your friends and loved ones."-K.J. Parker, Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City (The Siege, #1)
"My belief is, either you understand things or you understand people. Nobody can do both. Frankly, I’m happier with things. I understand stuff like tensile strength, shearing force, ductility, work hardening, stress, fatigue. I know the same sort of things happen with people, but the rules are subtly different. And nobody’s ever paid for my time to get to know about people"-K.J. Parker, Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City (The Siege, #1)
