“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.” Kahlil Gibran |

“The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” Robert Frost |

"An alternative history Roman empire
Approximately 2000 years ago (no one knows for sure how long it's been), Augustus Caesar became the first princeps of Roma. The Empire grew, and Caesarian explorers crossed the Sargasso Sea to discover the continent" Read more of this review » |

"Sargassa is a science fiction novel; its vivid alternate-history worldbuilding is rooted in rigorous thought experiment, as opposed to fantasy’s invocation of the mythic or magical. But like many great science fiction novels, it nonetheless invokes s"

“He wanted to be inside, away from the possibility of social contact. He was not entirely comfortable out here. Getting too close to the everyday dance of the world overloaded his acute senses in a way that he could not explain to anyone. So he did not try. He simply kept to himself and lived his life in a way that would ease his discomfort as much as possible. He no longer cared what others thought of his ways; the few friends he had understood him. Everything else was unimportant. Except his job. The one thing he could excel at just by being himself.”

“There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”
