― Liz Braswell, As Old as Time

“Books can tell you almost everything that mankind knows. Or imagines.”

“And then the years go by, and it’s just another thing that happened. Not like it’s not important, or terrible, but it’s in the past, just as much as everything else. You know?”

“In adventure books there weren't awkward pauses or embarrassing social scenes. In morality plays and farces there were rarely serious discussions of racial tension, mob mentality, pogroms, or plague. In scientific books there were no dinnertime revelations of a terrible matter.

― Liz Braswell, As Old as Time
