Eagles Over the Kennebec

Asyouknowbob, Steve and I will be hosting a Liaden Universe® Silver Anniversary party at Boskone. We therefore wish to have available at least one Liaden-themed party game.  Since there's not likely to be enough space in the room to set up a Sticks table (never mind that I don't think Massachusetts law allows payouts), and competition knife-throwing is right out, we thought we'd have a basket full of quotations/brief passages available.  The idea would be that a partier would pick up a piece of paper out of the basket, read the quote aloud, and the first person who identifies the book/story from which the quote is taken and/or the character
speaking will win the adoration of the rest of the party goers.  Rumor is that we may have prizes available to us, so there exists the chance of a quote-off, also.

So!  We need your help.  Send me your favorite quotes and/or scenes!  Or, actually, post them HERE (note:  I will need the entire quote as it appears in the novel/story *and* the source).

The above link takes you to a moderated forum.  That means that a human being must clear your comment,
so it may not appear immediately.  Never fear, it will appear eventually.

Let the games begin.
