Any

Any
technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced

The
reason why truth is so much stranger than fiction is that there is no
requirement for it to be consistent.

if you wished the light to be seen you had to take it into
dark places. |

When people say things are a lot more
complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't
like the truth. |

What would be the point of cyphering messages that very clever enemies
couldn't break? You'd end up not knowing what they thought you thought
they were thinking . .

Supposing there was justice for all, after
all? For every unheeded beggar, every harsh word, every neglected duty,
every slight . . . every choice . . . Because that was the point, wasn't
it? You had to choose. You might be right, you might be wrong, but you had
to choose, knowing that the rightness or wrongness might never be clear or
even that you were deciding between two sorts of wrong, that there was no
right anywhere. And always, always, you did it by yourself. You were the
one there, on the edge, watching and listening. Never any tears, never any
apology, never any regrets . . . You saved all that up in a way that could
be used when needed. |

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the
world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly
half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say:
this glass is half empty.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass
and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This
is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And
it was a bigger glass!
And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of
person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly
knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass), or
who had no glass at all, because they were at the back of the crowd and
had failed to catch the barman's eye.
