R.I.P. Harry Harrison

Harry Harrison's book The Stainless Steel Rat was one of the books that got me into reading. My favorite quote from that book has graced the bottom of this blog since its inception. RIP Harry Harrison.

Oh so sad. He was an important part of your life. He would want you to come home to your family.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
