Today is May 12, 2020. I am two months into the coronavirus lockdown and thinking maybe I will try to post to my blog. One problem is all the spam comments, which I can remove one by one, but what a drag.

Quotes by Eleanor Arnason  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The man is an asshole."
"You might say that, but you'd be maligning a part of the body that is of unquestioned utility. I prefer to think of Lugala as a tumor.”
Eleanor Arnason, Ring of Swords
tags: humour

“Do not mislead Perez Anna or malign the people who have sheltered you for over twenty years. We are not - what is the word for eaters of one another?"
"Capitalists," said Anna.”
Eleanor Arnason, Ring of Swords

“Isn't that petty?"
"Anna, you have not yet seen pettiness. When a couple of tough guys like the general and Lugala Tsu decide to confront each other, vistas of pettiness open up that you and I can barely comprehend.”
Eleanor Arnason, Ring of Swords
