“when I imagine myself

I am always leaving

I couldn’t draw my own face if god asked”
Andrés Cerpa

Marie Brennan
“That should be my epitaph when I die 'she did not have to do it'.”
Marie Brennan, The Voyage of the Basilisk

“He did not run from his grief, nor did he deny its existence. He could study his grief from a distance, like a scientist observing animals. He embraced it, accepted it, acknowledged that it would never go away. It was as much a part of him as any pleasant feeling. Perhaps even more so.”
Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

“What do your crazy speciests do?” Kizzy asked.
Sissix shrugged. “Live on gated farms and have private orgies.”
“How is that any different than what the rest of you do?”
“We don’t have gates and anybody can come to our orgies.”
Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

“I can wait for the galaxy outside to get a little kinder.”
Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
