Quotes

• “She was sleeping. He nudged her gently and whispered a suggestion. Her eyes opened wide and startled. "No, no, a dozen times no!""Only a doezen times?" he asked, and then leered. "My deer," he whispered, "think of the fawn you'll have!"”
• “He had been cheated out of his compensation, on a technicality, by the corrupt officialdom of the spaceways. He’d turned criminal then, and had been as ruthless to society as it had been to him.”
• “He thought, “Anyway, do not judge the human race by my opinion of it. I am a criminal, every hand against me and my hand against every man—especially the metal hand that is my best weapon. Men have treated me badly; I have repaid them in kind. But do not judge them by what I think of them. Perhaps I am more warped than they.””
• “The face of danger is brightest when turned so its features cannot be seen.”
• “Yes, it was swell to sleep when you were looking forward to something. Time flies by and you don’t even hear the rustle of its wings.”
• ““One may think,” said the professor, “of an absolute as a mode of being—”Yeah, thought Shorty McCabe, one may think of anything as anything else, and what does it get you but a headache.”
