Hugh Howey Quotes

“...Everything we do is left in...like a trail out there, a big ring of decisions. Every action we take-"
"And mistake."
"And every mistake. But every good thing we do as well. They are immortal, every single touch we leave behind. Even if nobody sees them or remembers them, that doesn't matter. That trail will always be what happened, what we did, every choice. The past lives on forever. There's no changing it.”
― Hugh Howey, Dust

“Who are we, if not the sum of our memories?”
― Hugh Howey, Dust

“The reason amnesia is a big part of the books is that a lot of this story is the tragedy that we fight the same battles over and over again as a civilization. There are problems that we have solved, and then we backslide not to solve them again, because every generation doesn't learn from the past, they forget the lessons that we've learned, and they think we're going to unique times, but we're not, we're repeating the same mistakes over and over again.”
