    Submitted for your consideration - a list of literary lampshades:


    Foundation (Asimov)

    "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

    A comment on the Foundation's knack for always showing up in the right
    place at the right time.


    Slaughterhouse-V (Vonnegut)

    "All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much
    true."

    Danke,

    FWIW, I withdraw my criticsm of "Brewster": They *are* addressing the
    in-story issues talking about another space station raises:
