This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything
here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer
encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the
archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those
repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is
for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site,
so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

"We are as solid as most truly false things are-a dance of particles in
space. Only the things no one can touch are true, as you should know by
now."
-Citadel
"The second-best thing was to fight and win. But the first-best thing
was to fight the fight worth fighting. Where would he be, if not here?"
-The Woman who Loved the Centaur Pholus
"If I need more courage than I have to live, I will pretend to have it
and live anyway. I did that on the battlefield . . . I acted the part
of a hero. That is to say, I acted as it seemed to me I would have if I
had actually possessed dauntless courage."
-On Blue's Waters
. . . I have dozens more. Quotes like these are what make him my
favorite author.
-Steve
