   “Now, there's this about cynicism, Sergeant. It's the universe's most supine moral position. Real comfortable. If nothing can be done, then you're not some kind of shit for not doing it, and you can lie there and stink to yourself in perfect peace.”

   ~ Borders of Infinity, Lois McMaster Bujold

   Finding (print) anthologies that contain a specific short story can be a challenge though.

   I got introduced to Bujold's Vorkosigan series via the short story "The Borders of Infinity" which is (amongst plenty of other anthologies and a collection of three Vorkosigan shorts confusingly called Borders of Infinity itself) included in Infinite Stars (ed. Bryan Thomas Schmidt). Getting most of the novels was easy enough, but hunting down the remaining short stories meant foraging for second-hand out-of-print anthologies.
