“Giving is taking is giving.”
David G. Hartwell, Year's Best SF

“When one has the means of getting everything, one winds up giving in to personal demons.”
David G. Hartwell, Year's Best SF 9

“You would have me burn your enemies for the glory of your kingdom, little fleck? In a thousand years Tadroth will be only a legend. In two thousand, even the legend will be forgotten. When you and all you make are dust in a grave, only I will remain. Why should I care how many kings rule this land for a season? Why should I care if your Serian lives or dies?”
David G. Hartwell, Year's Best Fantasy
