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

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)
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.
The White Dragon (1978)
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.
Who wills,
Can.
Who tries,
Does.
Who loves,
Lives.
