Alain Badiou
“What kind of world does one see when one experiences it from the point of view of two and not one? What is the world like when it is experienced, developed and lived from the point of view of difference and not identity? That is what I believe love to be.”
Alain Badiou, In Praise of Love

Liu Cixin
“Even if God were here, it wouldn’t do any good. The entire human race has reached the point where no one is listening to their prayers.”
Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem

Liu Cixin
“The explosive development of technology was analogous to the growth of cancer cells, and the results would be identical:”
Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem

Alain Badiou
“The oppressed peoples of the earth are not objects for the exquisite turmoil of European consciences. They are subjects from which to learn how to exercise political intelligence and action. Obviously, colonial arrogance is a long time dying.”
Alain Badiou, Cinema

Tim Powers
“Real life is generally very haphazard in its plotting, and I think a lot of people lament that, and turn to fiction to briefly experience, albeit vicariously, a more satisfying sort of reality. We want to see *sense* -- not necessarily happy endings, but effectual actions and significant outcomes. (Postmodern fiction and metafiction, I gather, aim to call attention to the falsity of these things, which is like selling liquor that perversely makes you more sober).”
Tim Powers, The Bible Repairman and Other Stories
