David  Mitchell
“Why fight the 'natural' (oh, weaselly word!) order of things? Why? Because of this--one fine day, a purely predatory world shall consume itself. In an individual, selfishness uglifies the soul; for the human species, selfishness is extinction.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Ruth Ozeki
“Do not think that time simply flies away. Do not understand “flying” as the only function of time. If time simply flew away, a separation would exist between you and time. So if you understand time as only passing, then you do not understand the time being.   To grasp this truly, every being that exists in the entire world is linked together as moments in time, and at the same time they exist as individual moments of time. Because all moments are the time being, they are your time being.”
Ruth Ozeki, A Tale for the Time Being

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The individual cannot bargain with the State. The State recognizes no coinage but power: and it issues the coins itself.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Ruth Ozeki
“Blessed Stars, please make this world into a place where we will never again be forced to kill an enemy whom we cannot hate. Were such a thing to come about, I would not complain even if my body were torn to pieces, again and again.”
Ruth Ozeki, A Tale for the Time Being

Frank Patrick Herbert
“If you need something to worship, then worship life - all life, every last crawling bit of it! We're all in this beauty together!”
Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah
