Quote of the Day: Robin McKinley
From the novel Sunshine:
"So I did buy another car. The Wreck. It ran. I bought it from a friend of Mel's who like tinkering with cars the way Mel liked tinkering with motorcycles, and the friend guaranteed that it would run, just so long as I didn't want anything fancy like a third gear that was there all the time, or a top speed of over forty. It suited me fine. I didn't feel like getting attached to another car, and the sporadic absence of third gear was an interesting diversion."
