More From Dan Simmons

Seduction is, first and foremost, an art form. and seduction should not always be treated as a wild celebration. in fact, it's more of an evocation of what you do. it's more an evocation of seduction.
Art Firsts Facts
The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
Opportunity Mind Clients
Opportunity shies away from need, but opportunity is attracted by talent and ability. what you don't want to happen is opportunity to turn cool on you. you don't want to offend opportunity. so the only thing you present to opportunity is ability, performance and skill. don't present need to opportunity.
Life Motivational Opportunity
What is needed, however, isn't just that people working together be nice to each other. it is discipline. discipline is hard--harder than trustworthiness and skill and perhaps even than selflessness. we are by nature flawed and inconstant creatures. we can't even keep from snacking between meals. we are not built for discipline. we are built for novelty and excitement, not for careful attention to detail. discipline is something we have to work at.

Agreeing on the "why" takes all the romance out of everything, takes all the seduction. seduction used to be an art. now of course it's brutish and it's predatory and it's bad.

Gradually, ... the aspect of science as knowledge is being thrust into the background by the aspect of science as the power of manipulating nature. it is because science gives us the power of manipulating nature that it has more social importance than art. science as the pursuit of truth is the equal, but not the superior, of art. science as a technique, though it may have little intrinsic value, has a practical importance to which art cannot aspire.

My great grandfather used to say to his wife, my great-grandmother, who in turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well and eloquently was a very great art, but that an equally great one was to know the right moment to stop.
