11 August: Marilyn vos Savant Quotes

Marilyn vos Savant is an American public figure, best known for having the highest recorded IQ according to the Guinness Book of Records, a competitive category the publication has since retired. She was born on this date in 1946, so here are some words of wisdom from her.


  1. Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
  2. Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses.
  3. A good idea will keep you awake during the morning, but a great idea will keep you awake during the night.
  4. There's plenty of intelligence in the world, but the courage to do things differently is in short supply.
  5. Be able to cite three good qualities of every relative or acquaintance that you dislike.
  6. Success may be the ability to be happy with whatever we're stuck with.
  7. I believe that love--not imitation--is the sincerest form of flattery. Your imitator thinks that you can be duplicated; your lover knows you can't.
  8. The squeaky wheel may get the most oil, but it's also the first to be replaced.
  9. If you never heard opportunity knock, maybe you're never at home.
  10. The length of your education is less important than its breadth, and the length of your life is less important than its depth.

Closing the Circle

A stable wormhole has been established between Earth and Infinitus. Power Blaster and his friends can finally go home.

Desi Troyes is still at large on Earth - Power Blaster has vowed to bring him to justice. His wedding to Shanna is under threat as the Desperadoes launch an attempt to rescue their leader. 
Someone from Power Blaster's past plays an unexpected and significant role in capturing Troyes.

The return home brings its own challenges. Not everyone can return to the life they left behind, and for some, there is unfinished business to be dealt with before they can start anew.

Ben Cole in particular cannot resume his old life as a surgeon because technology no longer works around him. He plans a new life in Classica, away from technology. Shanna hears there could be a way to reverse his condition and sets out to find it, putting herself in great danger. She doesn't know she is about to uncover the secret of Power Blaster's mysterious past.
