I think Steve mentioned on his LJ that he "borrowed" this line from a friend... I can see why, though, it's a good one.

Another one I caught while re-reading /Taltos/ the other day:

[cite]

Kragar: I believe so, as well. Since we both believe it, we might as well assume it's true.

[/cite]

Vlad doesn't get *all* the good ones...
