Carmen Maria Machado
“How do we direct our record keeping toward justice?”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Carmen Maria Machado
“A house is never apolitical. It is conceived, constructed, occupied, and policed by people with power, needs, and fears.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Libba Bray
“Stories were power. And whoever controlled the story controlled everything. A story could bring people together, or it could tear them apart. It could spread like a sickness, infecting people. It could lead them into battle or shake them into seeing what they had refused to see before.”
Libba Bray, The King of Crows

Carmen Maria Machado
“Safe as houses" is something closer to "the house always wins." Instead of a shared structure providing shelter, it means that the person in charge is secure; everyone else should be afraid.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Carmen Maria Machado
“Nonstalgia (noun) The unsettling sensation that you are never be able to fully access the past; that once you are departed from an event, some essential quality of it is lost forever. A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
