"It isn't a natural thing to keep on worrying about the morality of one's material prosperity. These are proclivities superinduced by modern conditions of the conscience. There is a natural resistance in every healthy human being to such distressful heart-searchings."
"The task of the moral philosopher-thinker is to support and strengthen the voice of human conscience, to recognize what is good or what is bad for people, whether they are good or bad for society in a period of evolution.

"Now I don't know how many people like to drive a Beetle at that kind of speed (on purpose) but I know I'd rather go down Brickmaker's Kloof on a bicycle with no brakes! Driving any car at that speed in anything other than an expensive German luxury car on a long, straight autobahn is enough of a risk (let alone the risk of hitting anything) " but if you try that with a Beetle and add a light crosswind, factor in some rubber peeling off your tire, and you'll more than likely find yourself dancing alone in a dark corner without any music."

A powerful breeze tore at his black silk shirt as Kilroy made his way across it to the waiting shuttle, evoking a feeling like the fingers of fate were caressing his body.

Fatigued and desperate, the Hammer was running out of options. His ship was a mess, holed in a dozen places, the life support systems failing. Weakened hull sections were collapsing in pressure bursts. The vibrations that shook the deck beneath him now were not from the engines that once drove her forward, but now from the explosions down below, tearing her apart."
"Christ asked people who follow him to be the voice for the voiceless - not to wire their mouths shut."
"Money is not respect. Neither is power. And if people respect you for your money or your power, it isn't you they respect - but the money or the power.When you win people over who hate you for what you are or what you believe, and they still come to you to make friends - or to ask you for counsel or assistance - that is respect - and that respect is power."
"Joe! he groaned, attempting to speak clearly. "Joe! Good ol' Joe!"Captain, you're drunk! Lofflin said, stating the obvious while trying to keep his voice level. Blaine grinned at him lopsidedly and giggled, almost choking. He slapped the table, knocking his empty glass over."Ye-ss, I am! Don't ssup-pose you " think I co-uld ssit here an' calmly wait t'die " dA1?2ou? Weee-ll, not ssob-er anyway. Ha ha ha.Disgust and hopelessness were swelling inside him. He felt like punching that drunken face till it was either sober or unconscious."Damn it, Captain! We need you " the crew needs you! You're turning your back on them " in our most desperate time!"
