Quote for the Day

There is nothing finer in the world than the telling of tales. Split atoms if you wish, but splitting an infinitive—and getting away with it—is far nobler. Lance boils if you wish, but pricking pretensions is often cleaner and always more fun.

–Greg Bear, “The White Horse Child”, Universe 9 (1979), ed. Terry Carr
