Some of my favorite quotes are from science fiction or fantasy books, movies, and TV shows. Here is a quote from the the 2 time Hugo award winner Orson Scott Card. He won a Hugo Award for best novel , twice. First for Ender's Game; Hugo Award 86, and the following year for Speaker for the Dead; Hugo Award 87.

"Most victories came from instantly exploiting your enemy's stupid mistakes, and not from any particular brilliance in your own plan."
Orson Scott Card, Shadow of the Hegemon

I love Card. I am so glad I had someone in my early life expose me to so many wonderful Sci-Fi and Fantasy books. I just wish I had more time for my reading. Cognitive Psychology study is taking me for a ride. "A long, bumpy hard one!"
