    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    I've gone through lots of different stages with fiction authors as I've aged. King, Clancy, Harris, Gibson, the other Harris, Stephenson. I can't really say any are my favorite, they all eventually write something that turns me off of them a little.

    Strike, you read?
    Seriously though, Howard Pyle for me.
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    Charles Stross. Who also maintains one of the better blogs on the interent tubes.

    If you've never read anything by him, I would start with The Atrocity Archives, which is immense Cthulhu-themed fun.
