Stephen R. Donaldson Quotes

...are you a person with volition and maybe some stubbornness and at least the capacity if not the actual determination to do something surpring or are you a tool? A tool just serves it's user, and it's not good for anything else. So if you want to accomplich something special -something more than you can do for yourself - you can't use a tool. You have to use a person and hope the surprises will work in your favor. You have to use something that's free to not be what you had in mind.

Stephen R. Donaldson

Or do you seriously think that the giving and taking of signs halts on the threshold of that business where an honest and open spirit is found? Martin Buber
