Susan’s Quotes

“The best and truest duty of a person is to add to the world. To create, and not destroy.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Rhythm of War

“Humans also can’t imagine the pain of others. They can’t imagine what it’s like in other countries, let alone other planets. They can’t imagine all having the same creator (which for better or for worse, they do). And they can’t imagine how impossibly small they are in the universe. In fact, they can’t even imagine the entire universe. It’s amazing what humans can’t imagine.”
― Pres Maxson, Kevin on Earth: An Extra-Terrestrial’s Account of Life on Earth in 2020

“It would be easy to think of the Hempstocks as the “triple goddess” (the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone) of popular mythology. In what ways do they conform to those roles? In what ways are they different?”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
