Book cover for Station Eleven
“If you are the light, if your enemies are darkness, then there’s nothing that you cannot justify. There’s nothing you can’t survive, because there’s nothing that you will not do.”

Isaac Asimov
“It had been a pretty good world, he thought. Not perfect, far from it, but good enough. Most people had been reasonably happy, most were prosperous, there was progress being made on all fronts—toward deeper scientific understanding, toward greater economic expansion, toward stronger global cooperation. The concept of war had come to seem quaintly medieval and the age-old religious bigotries were mostly obsolete, or so it had seemed to him. And now it was all gone, in one short span of hours, in a single burst of horrifying Darkness.”
Isaac Asimov, Nightfall

James S.A. Corey
“I absolutely believe that people are more good on balance than bad,” he said. “All the wars and all of the cruelty and all of the violence. I’m not looking away from any of that, and I still think there’s something beautiful about being what we are. History is soaked in blood. The future probably will be too. But for every atrocity, there’s a thousand small kindnesses that no one noticed. A hundred people who spent their lives loving and caring for each other. A few moments of real grace. Maybe it’s only a little more good than bad in us, but…”
James S.A. Corey, Leviathan Falls

James S.A. Corey
“It is true that we do not feel the movement of the earth, but by admitting its immobility we arrive at absurdity, while by admitting its motion (which we do not feel) we arrive at laws,” so also in history the new view says: “It is true that we are not conscious of our dependence, but by admitting our free will we arrive at absurdity, while by admitting our dependence on the external world, on time, and on cause, we arrive at laws.”
James S.A. Corey, Babylon's Ashes

Isaac Asimov
“The girl who wore only a pair of shorts said, “It was the university that called down the Darkness on us.” “And the Stars,” said the man who wore just a shirt. “They brought the Stars.” “And this one might bring them back,” said the woman who had spoken before. “Get him out of here! Get him out of here!” Sheerin stared incredulously. He told himself that he should have been able to predict this. It was an all too likely development: pathological suspicion of all scientists, all educated people, an unreasoning phobia that must be raging now like a virus among the survivors of the night of terror.”
Isaac Asimov, Nightfall

“everybody’s walking around saying stupid shit like, “hey man, where’s it happening?” and you have no fucking idea how dumb that sounds, it’s like admitting you’re so lost you cant even see the party even when it’s happening around you, it was happening everywhere and it wasnt happening anywhere, because whatever was happening, it was only happening when you made it happen, but most of us never learned that lesson,”
David Gerrold, thirteen o'clock
