30 April: Larry Niven quotes

Larry Niven, science fiction author, was born on this date in 1938. Here are some things he said:

  1. Everything starts as somebody's daydream.
  2. We learn only to ask more questions.
  3. In the world of words the imagination is one of the forces of nature.
  4. Sometimes there's no point in giving up.
  5. For each human being there is an optimum ratio between change and stasis. Too little change, he grows bored. Too little stability, he panics and loses his ability to adapt.
  6. That's the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers.
  7. Fear is the brother of hate.
  8. Never fire a laser at a mirror.
  9. Anything you don't understand is dangerous until you do understand it.
  10. The Unexpected always comes at the most awkward times.

Killing Me Softly

Sebastian Garrett is an assassin. It wasn’t his first choice of vocation, but nonetheless, he’s good at it, and can be relied upon to get the job done. He’s on top of his game.

Until he is contracted to kill Princess Helena of Galorvia. She is not just any princess. Sebastian doesn’t bargain on his intended victim being a super-heroine who gives as good as she gets. Only his own genetic variant power saves him from becoming the victim, instead of Helena. 

Fate has another surprise in store. Sebastian was not expecting to fall in love with her.

Available on Amazon:

Paperback
