“Empathy is the cornerstone of what her composite people have made together”
― Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory

“Meaning, in my very considered opinion, Gothi, that we can't ever really know if we understand or not. It feels as though we do, up until the point that we're challenged, and then the focus of our attention shifts to the challenge and all that complex structure we were working on falls over like a house of cards.”
― Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory

“Humans were an ecosystem. In the case of the Nodan microbial entity, this turned out to be literal, but even back on Earth humans created challenges and opportunities for other species. Their places and modes of life were rough bricks, in between which were gaps and niches that other creatures could adapt to fill.”
― Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory

“The world is much better; the world is still awful; the world can do much better.’10 All three statements are true.”
― Hannah Ritchie, Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet

“But then all things end, she supposes. Her own culture, distributed and varied, has done its level best to future-proof itself. But there will come a time, even if it's the heat death of the universe, when they will be gone. The living and the struggle is all. The moments of joy and sorrow, not just as stepping stones to the future, but taken on their own merits.”
― Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory
