Catherynne M. Valente
“The world had gotten gritty enough. The only thing left to do in all that dirt was to shine.”
Catherynne M. Valente, Space Opera

Catherynne M. Valente
“No matter how mad, bad, and dangerous to know a civilization gets, unto every generation are born the lonely and the uncool, destined to forever stare into the candy-store window of their culture, and loneliness is the mother of ascension. Only the uncool have the requisite alone time to advance their species.”
Catherynne M. Valente, Space Opera

Catherynne M. Valente
“Are you kind enough, on your little planet, not to shut that rhythm down? Not to crush underfoot the singers of songs and tellers of tales and wearers of silk? Because it's monsters who do that. Who extinguish art. Who burn books. Who ban music. Who yell at anyone with ears to turn off that racket. Who cannot see outside themselves clearly enough to sing their truth to the heavens. Do you have enough goodness in your world to let the music play?

Do you have soul?”
Catherynne M. Valente, Space Opera

“If he lost everything else, pride, priapism, and producer credit, Decibel Jones would never, never give up his swagger.”
Catherynne M. Valente, Space Opera

Catherynne M. Valente
“What was the point of a world without debilitating bitterness and despair? How could you even tell you were alive? How could you possibly write a decent pop song if you weren’t a sad sack of tissues or at least fundamentally angry at the world most of the time?”
Catherynne M. Valente, Space Opera
