“The Night Haunter’s growl was a wet, burbling thing at the back of his throat. He loathed begging,
principally because he didn’t understand it. They knew they were guilty, and justice had come for them.
They deserved this. Their actions made it necessary. So why beg? Why seek to flee from the
consequences of their own actions? Why sin at all if the price was too high to pay?”
― Prince of Crows

“Why would the off-world colonists want troublesome, humanlike slaves rather than nice, efficient machines? It's simple. Machines don't suffer. They aren't capable of it. A machine doesn't know when it's being raped.
There's no power relationship between you and a machine. That's been the U.N.'s whole pitch about the attractions of the off-world colonies all along. The big human thrill. For a replicant to suffer, to give its owners that whole master-slave energy, it has to have emotions.”
― Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human

“We regard our own memories as truths, when they are often just the stories we have told ourselves over time. They become the truth we live by, or with. They become our lives.”

“It seems to me that most moments in a life can be called interludes: following something, preceding something. Carrying us forward, with our needs and nature and desires, as we move through our time.”

“He'd already catalogued a curious selectivity when it came to which news stories super exercised his mother and elder sister. Neither would-be activist ever seemed especially upset by the Chinese persecution of Uighurs, for example, or by the Iranian theocracy's repression of women, although you'd think that anyone obsessed with "social justice" would care about modern-day concentration camps, and self-avowed feminists would logically find distressing stories of young women murdered by morality police for not wearing headscarves.”
