"It had been the dissatisfied, of course, the discontented, the dreamers, who had led the vanguard of man's exploration into space following the discovery of the hyperspace drive. They had gone from Terra cherishing the things that had been dumped into the dust bin of history, carrying with them pictures of ways of life that had passed away, or that had never really been. Then, in their new life, on new planets, they had set to work making those dreams and those pictures live.
And many times, they had come close to succeeding."
"Keep a government poor and weak and it's your servant; let it get rich and powerful and it's your master."

So true, as we know.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation. Sounds like a good book.
Linda, it is. To date, I have enjoyed everything of Piper's that I have read.
