“(I)f you're not honest with yourself, life will never be honest with you.”
Leigh Brackett, The Long Tomorrow“There's never been an act done since the beginning, from a kid stealing candy to a dictator committing genocide, that the person doing it didn't think he was fully justified. That's a mental trick called rationalizing, and it's done the human race more harm than anything else you can name.”
Leigh Brackett, The Long Tomorrow“You can’t destroy knowledge. You can stamp it under and burn it up and forbid it to be, but somewhere it will survive.”
Leigh Brackett, The Long Tomorrow
