“The wasp sting of capitalism was left to grow malignant without proper care. And wasps can keep on stinging once they begin. They don’t die like bees, so they don’t have to be as committed to the damage. We as humans forgot our specific place and spread into every place instead. As if we were removed from consequence. As if we were untouchable. We couldn’t even imagine the Earth retaliating. And then it did.”
― Cherie Dimaline, Hunting by Stars

“Sometimes the path in front of you alters. Sometimes it goes through some pretty dark territory. Just make sure it doesn't change the intent of the trip. As long as the intent is good, nothing else matters. Not in these days, son.”
― Cherie Dimaline, The Marrow Thieves

“Living itself is the source of sin.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“...and in fact I've noticed that faith always seems to be less in the daytime”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons
