1 September: C J Cherryh Quotes

C J Cherryh, the US sci-fi author, was born on this date in 1942. Here are 10 quotes from her.

  1. Ignorance killed the cat; curiosity was framed!
  2. Watch out for a man whose enemies keep disappearing.
  3. There are three kinds of people I've found: those who think the universe is good, those who believe it's corrupt, and those who don't want to think about it any more than they can help. I prefer the first two.
  4. Never start a war with something you can't talk to.
  5. If you're up against a smart opponent, make him think himself to death.
  6. Poisoning rarely happens in a well-managed kitchen.
  7. Some cool, clear night, drive to a country place where city lights don’t block your view. Turn off the car lights. Get out and look up. And see our real neighbourhood.
  8. What we individually deserve isn't as much as what we collectively merit.
  9. Were the seeds of next things always there, in the circle of the year, and was that how the world worked its miracles?
  10. Change, son of mine, should be applied like salt to a dish—best taste it, understand it, and then decide.
