“My job - the thing I spent a third of my life doing so that I could live the other two-thirds regretting it in relative comfort - existed purely because other jobs that didn’t need to exist existed. If there was ever a sign that there were too many people in the world, it was my job.”
― Adrian J. Walker, The End of the World Running Club

“Words are weapons. They blast big bloody holes in the world. And words are bricks. Say something out loud and it starts turning solid. Say it out loud enough and it becomes a wall you can’t get through.”
― Richard Kadrey, Kill the Dead

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
