Thanks! I just spotted your Dorothy Parker one, so I'll admire that one too. :-)
As for Bujold, there are certainly varying levels of reflection in the books (being space opera and fantasy), but I love the underpinnings of her writing. But here is a selection of quotes (http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Lois_McMaster_Bujold/) that have popped up in her earlier fiction writing, to give you a flavour - and there are great gems in her later stuff too. < /pimping>
