Exchange information, learn to speak sensibly about any subject, learn to express your thoughts, accept new ones, examine them, analyze. Think objectively. Think toward the future.

— Anne McCaffrey The White Dragon (1978)

More quotes by Anne McCaffrey

When bad fortune occurs, the unresourceful, unimaginative man looks about him to attach the blame to someone else; the resolute accepts misfortune and endeavors to survive, mature, and improve because of it.

Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern (1983)

Mostly I'm telling people that they don't have to be victims. They can be survivors but I don't as a rule put "messages" in my writing.

Drummer, beat, and piper, blow,
Harper, strike, and soldier, go.
Free the flame and sear the grasses
Till the dawning Red Star passes.

Who wills,
Can.
Who tries,
Does.
Who loves,
Lives.
