“He has asked the wrong god for the wrong thing, and now he is enough because he is nothing. He is perfect because he isn't there.”

“Robots are not people. We're machines, and machines are objects. Objects are 'its'"
"I'd say you're more than just an object," Dex said.
The robot looked a touch offended. "I would never call you just an animal, Sibling Dex." It turned its gaze to the road, head held high. "We don't have to fall into the same category to be of equal value.”
― Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

“So, you see me as more person than object, even though that's very, very wrong, but you can't see me as a friend, even though I'd like to be?”
― Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

“I am made of metal and numbers; you are made of water and genes. But we are each something more than that. And we can't define what that something more is simply by our components. You don't perceive the way an ant does anymore than I perceive like a... I don't know. A vaccum cleaner. Do you still have vaccum cleaners?”
― Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built
