“Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life, Ender. The best you can do is choose to fill the roles given [to] you by good people, by people who love you. I didn't come here because I wanted to be a colonist. I came because I've spent my whole life in the company of the brother that I hated. Now I want a chance to know the brother that I love, before it's too late, before we're not children anymore.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game

“Now I’m in a rougher neighborhood. The kind of neighborhood where you keep your rover doors locked and never come to a complete stop at intersections.”
― Andy Weir, The Martian

“Sister?” Jessie Kay scowled. “Do I really look like his sister? I clearly come from grade-A stock while his ancestors made a few poor choices along the way.”
― Gena Showalter

“Strangefellows's owner and bartender was a thin pale streak of misery who only wore black because no-one had come up with a darker colour yet.”
― Simon R. Green, Nightingale's Lament
