Book cover for The Ship
‘If you loved me, you’d stop pushing.’ ‘If you loved me, we’d have gone already.’ ‘I love you, Michael. I just don’t think you’re right.’
Matthew Lloyd
I really like this exchange. Lalla's Mum is not perfect, but she was definitely better than her awful Dad.

“All TV is educational. The question is, ‘What are we teaching?”
Paula M. Block, Star Trek: The Next Generation 365

Terry Pratchett
“Be generous, Sir Samuel. TRULY treat all men equally. Allow Klatchians the right to be scheming bastards, hmm?”
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
“If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.”
Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

Thomas King
“you have to be careful with the stories you tell. And you have to watch out for the stories that you are told.”
Thomas King, The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative

“There’s nothing wrong with being happy. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying something so much that it strips away all that irony and cynicism. And there’s nothing wrong with loving anything so much that it feels like it could pull your heart out of your chest and toss it on the floor. We build ourselves up to not do that, and then we build up the armor so thickly that we have trouble finding what’s underneath. We use that as an excuse to lash out at people who do feel stuff, who do like things (and I am, of course, mostly saying this about myself). It’s hard sometimes to remember that the world isn’t a place to glide through, so nothing can touch you. It’s a place to be experienced.”
Emily Todd VanDerWerff
