“Instead of Earth’s history, they had raided the data from multiple fake histories including George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones universe for European History and Second Life for what day-to-day life had been like when TQB left the world. Then, for shits and giggles, Bobcat and William had decided to add in midi-chlorians as a description of how some humans were able to exhibit amazing “Jedi powers.” By the end of the night, just a little inebriated, Marcus had added some data from Laurence E. Dahners’ Ell Donsaii series on traveling through the nth dimension by entrapping and using entanglement.”

Might Makes Right
“Samual,” ― Michael Anderle, My Ride is a Bitch
“Home wasn’t a place, like this apartment or the ships above. It was who you were with, and how you worked it out together.” ― Michael Anderle, Dawn Arrives
“You know about vacations, right?” Lance asked. He continued when she raised an eyebrow. “You do twice the work leading up to it, four times the work coming out of it, and you are blamed for anything that goes wrong while you are gone. If everything goes right, the person who covered for you accepts all the credit.” ― Michael Anderle, Life Goes On
“one should know truth, which required taking the time to know oneself. One didn’t lie about their actions, their feelings, or their thoughts and beliefs, but accepted themselves for what and who they were. Once people understood those things, their future was more assured since they wouldn’t subconsciously be fighting both their enemies and themselves to accomplish their goals.” ― Michael Anderle, Death Becomes Her / Queen Bitch / Love Lost / Bite This / Never Forsaken / Under My Heel / Kneel or Die
“The thing is, though, no matter what you believe about the great beyond, fate, magic—any of it really—sometimes, what you want doesn’t matter. Sometimes, the things waiting in the wings for you will be bigger than you, bigger than all of us, and you have to take it with a sense of grace, compassion, and a stiff upper lip.” ― Michael Anderle, Witch of the Federation
“Then again, all evil needed to prosper was for good men and women to do nothing. Or, he considered, not be allowed to do anything.” ― Michael Anderle, Under My Heel
“This world owes us nothing and this world gives us nothing, but this world will take everything if you’re not careful.” ― Michael Anderle, Under My Heel
“would” ― Michael Anderle, Bite This
“That rat bastard promised me he would come back, and I’m holding him to it. If I have to travel the fucking Galaxy to find a way to travel back in time? I’ll do it. That prick is coming back, one way or another. I’m not giving up on him, ever.” ― Michael Anderle, We Have Contact
“Guys aren’t interested in perfect, they want character!” Brooklyn humphed. “They want tits and ass. Whatever else you provide is a plus, unless it’s intelligence.” ― Michael Anderle, Might Makes Right
“We are human beings. Every one of us has worth, talents and skills. Fucking put them to use! Stop taking the easy way out and punting the problem to the next generation. Don’t support a nation of people sitting on their asses and taking money from those who work without trying to make it better. Make a change, even if it’s just starting the change before you step out of office.” The” ― Michael Anderle, Sued For Peace
“To live is to struggle. It is in struggling that we appreciate what we have. All of us have suffered adversity, and because of that, we understand the simple beauty of our current lives all the more.” ― Michael Anderle, BBQ and STFU
“I stop thinking that overworking, overmanaging, over-volunteering is necessary for my part of the world to keep running. For everyone I care about to be okay. It turns out that the universe is requesting a much more manageable amount of contribution from me. A kind of spiritual arrogance where I put myself at the center holding things up. In fact, it has happened that when I do less, more good has actually opened up for me. Go figure. Like a spiritual magic trick instead and the best kind. If I’m not spending time trying to figure out how to help, how to make things better, how to get more done by myself, that leaves chunks of time to ponder doing something else. Like – something fun. Suddenly hobbies are possible. Time opens up to sit still on my back deck watching the flowers grow. Reading a good book just because. And the more I let myself try those things, the more fun things I think up to do. Kayaking on the lake, learning to ride a bike again. Yeah, you heard me, learning to ride a bike. Turns out that old cliché is wrong – at least with me. Even better is the payoff I didn’t expect. When things didn’t crash to the ground without me driving the bus, and weirdly even got better, I felt more like I was a part of the universe. I was snugly fit somewhere in the middle as just a piece of everything. I was never meant to try and take on so much. What a relief. I am just a passenger on the bus and I don’t need to know where I’m headed. I didn’t anyway, only raising my anxiety and probably my meddling. I was able to give myself permission to hang back, do less and still know I’d done my part. Go enjoy the rest of life. And that’s exactly what I’m setting out to do. Maybe a little later than most, but all we have is the day we’re in so – it’s never too late. Next week I’ll be sitting among the redwoods listening to the sea far below. More adventures to follow.
