After a bit of a break, I have another quote:
The extent and density of this stream would be useful knowledge,
Aivas went on. Jancis, such readings can be taken from the navigator's console by activating the exterior optics, using the exam.exe code.
All the Weyrs of Pern, by Anne McCaffrey (page 249)

Quote of the Week: Loved and Lost
I watched Wall-E last Thursday. Wall-E and Eva spend a substantial portion of the movie hugely depressed because they have temporarily lost each other. It reminded me of the last two lines quoted here:
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
These are the last four lines of Canto 27 of In Memoriam A.H.H., by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
For more quotes like this one... go find another website. If just want quotes I've picked, out, though, I have some more of those.
