Philip K. Dick
“You mean old books?"

"Stories written before space travel but about space travel."

"How could there have been stories about space travel before --"

"The writers," Pris said, "made it up.”
Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Sarah Wynn-Williams
“The rest of Facebook's leadership wasn't very different. Mark really couldn't be bothered to care. Now he's developed priorities, and they're mostly pretty horrible and ignorant of the human costs.”
Sarah Wynn-Williams, Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism
