A Princess of Earth

Just finished reading Mike Resnick's A Princess of Earth published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction December 2004 issue and LOVED the story. Here's my favorite quote:

Reality is greatly overrated. A realist sees silicon; a madman sees a machine that can think. A realist sees bread mold; a madman sees a drug that miraculously cures infection. A realist looks at the stars and asks, why bother? A madman looks at those same stars and asks, why not bother?

Highly recommended! :)
