“she'd never quite stopped feeling like they'd all know she wasn't quite good enough to join them. Now that emotion felt like a vestige of another Mahit entirely, a child-Mahit with a child's fears and desires.”
Arkady Martine, A Desolation Called Peace

“Mahit couldn't decide if she was horrified, proud, or simply, deliciously, hideously intrigued.”

“exile happened in the heart and the mind long before it happened to the body”
Arkady Martine, A Desolation Called Peace

Arkady Martine
“I carry exile in my heart. It animates my poetry and my politics; I will never be free of it, having lived outside of Teixcalaan for so long. I will always be measuring the distance between myself and a person who remained in the heart of the world; between the person I would have been had I stayed and the person I have become under the pressure of the frontier. When the Seventeenth Legion came through the jumpgate in bight star-snatching ships and filled up the Ebrekti sky in the shapes of my home, I was at first afraid. A profound discontinuity. To know fear in the shape of one's own face.”
Arkady Martine, A Memory Called Empire

Arkady Martine
“risk seeking; she'd always assumed that had been a necessary precondition for the sort of xenophilia that made a person fall in love with a culture that was slowly eating her own”
Arkady Martine, A Desolation Called Peace
