More quotes by Poul Anderson
For the ordinary man, instability—change—means dislocation, war, uncertainty, misery, and death.
Man’s duty in this life, he thought, is to choose the lesser evil.
Men, whose span is cruelly short, rush nonetheless to death in their youth as to a maiden’s arms.

We may not have chosen the time, but the time has chosen us.
Fate holds the strings, and men like children move
But as they're led: success is from above.
