More quotes by Michael Shea
Good soldiers stay alive by being unsentimental and having a quick eye for the main chance.
Present action, though futile, is preferable to passive acceptance of such a fate as awaits us.
The great in Evil, and the great in [Goodness|Good]]—both leave an immortal residue.
Is it not unsettling to consider the blind unlikelihoods that shape one’s fate?
While it is foolish to deny the dark around us, it is futile to exaggerate it.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
