Anne McCaffrey Quote

I feel obliged to explain that I thought for quite a few years that I had lost my daughter to pirates during the Phoenix incident, she said. The first thing anyone knew, the legitimate colony was gone and heavyworlders had moved in. I harbored a very deep resentment that they were living on that bright and shiny new planet while I grieved for my daughter. It's affected my good judgment somewhat ever since. Lunzie swallowed. I apologize for indulging myself with such a shockingly biased generalization. It's the pirates I should hate, and I do.[...]But I'm learning. I'm learning. I'm especially learning [...] I'm gradually learning to accept each person as an individual, and not as just a representative of their subgroup or species. Each one is individual to his, her, itself and can't be lumped in with his, her or its peer group.
