victis honor [translation]

It's been far too long since I've quoted some Kim Stanley Robinson. How about this one:

Only a few people in this world were lucky enough to run into their true partners--it took outrageous luck for it to happen, then the sense to recognize it, and the courage to act. Few could be expected to have all that, and then to have things go well. The rest had to make do.
