As we were walking around in the store, Marilyn and I were just really impressed by all the novelties and the different types of little things that you could get for Christmas.

Some quotes from the series, Andromeda.

"Abosolute power corrupts absolutely, which is a problem, if you are powerless."

Andromeda - The Prince

One that applies to my major:

"Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it; those who fail to learn history correctly-- why they are simply doomed."

Andromeda - To Loose the Fateful Lightning

One for the romantic physicist:

"We say atoms are held together by weak attractiors. Why not admit the truth: the universe is held together by love."

Andromeda - The Banks of the Lethe

"The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy."

Andromeda - The Honey Offering
