[LMB] Convert and quotation

[Ian W. Riddell]

I'll add myself to this chorus.

I can no longer count the number of times that the words of one of her
characters have kept me going:

Ivan: If there's no game, isn't winning a pretty meaningless concept?

Harra: You go on. You just go on. There's nothign more to it, and there's no
trick to make it easier. You just go on. (I love "Memory"!)

Aral: Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know
about yourself. . . . There is no more hollow feeling than to stand with
your honor shattered at your feet while soaring public reputation wraps you
in rewards. That's soul destroying. The other way around is merely very,
very irritating.
