Robert Jackson Bennett
“Sigrud is a hammer in a world of nails, and he is satisfied knowing only that.”
Robert Jackson Bennett, City of Stairs

Adrian Tchaikovsky
“Entropy was the house that always won in the end. Everything we humans had ever built, from a stone axe to a spaceship, was just borrowing from a universe that would always claim it back with interest. A whole civilization -- art, mind and tech -- was founded in the shadow of that truth.”
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Shroud

Neil Gaiman
“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Tad Williams
“Good stories will tell you that facing the lie is the worst terror of all. And there is no talisman or magic sword that is half so potent a weapon as truth”
Tad Williams, To Green Angel Tower
tags: truth

Neil Gaiman
“Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
