Quotes Frontera (1984) Frontera (New York, NY: Baen, 1984) The Valium washed over him like a lullaby. p. 9 Kane felt like a Goth at the sack of Rome, watching his stream of piss wash the delicate paints from a piece of Grecian marble. p. 26 I've got nothing against corporatocracy myself, but nationalism doesn't die out overnight. We've seen that here, and we don't want it starting again. p. 100 Black & White (2008) Black & White (Burton, MI: Subterranean, 2008) The sun had creased his face like a note that had been folded and refolded and kept in a dirty pocket. p. 11 We outnumber the rich and always will. This is still a democracy, more or less, and we have the ability to vote with our brains and not some kind of mixed up idealism that makes us go against our own interest. And we can organize, so that when the rich and privileged don’t keep their promises, we have a way to make them listen. pp. 105–6 External links "Lewis Shiner".
