Kaveh Akbar
“Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Tamsyn Muir
“Life is too short and love is too long.”
Tamsyn Muir, Nona the Ninth

Tamsyn Muir
“They kept saying cows watched sunsets. At that point I wished I’d used the fucking conspiracy theorists instead of the cows. Nobody would’ve cared if I’d turned people inside-out who think vaccines have nanites in them that mine cryptocurrency. But cows watch sunsets, man!”
Tamsyn Muir, Nona the Ninth

Simon Jimenez
“This body holds the body. This arm holds the spear. And the spear cuts through water.”
Simon Jimenez, The Spear Cuts Through Water

Kaveh Akbar
“Where does all our effort go? It’s hard not to envy the monsters when you see how good they have it. And how unbothered they are at being monsters.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!
