Martin Heidegger
“The rigorousness of restraint is other than the one of the “exactitude” of a loose, indifferent “reasoning” which belongs equally to everyone and whose results are compelling within the sphere of its own claims to certainty. Such results are compelling, however, only because the claim to truth is content with the correctness that comes from deduction and from insertion into a regulated and calculable order.”
Martin Heidegger, Contributions to Philosophy: (Of the Event)

Octavia E. Butler
“I have also read that the Pox was caused by accidentally coinciding climatic, economic, and sociological crises. It would be more honest to say that the Pox was caused by our own refusal to deal with obvious problems in those areas. We caused the problems: then we sat and watched as they grew into crises.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

Octavia E. Butler
“I have watched education become more a privilege of the rich than the basic necessity that it must be if civilized society is to survive. I have watched as convenience, profit, and inertia excused greater and more dangerous environmental degradation. I have watched poverty, hunger, and disease become inevitable for more and more people.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

Brandon Sanderson
“Yes. Fortunately, before I died, I put a plan into motion. I can’t remember it, but I’m certain that it was brilliant.”
“You know, I’ve said something similar myself on occasion, after a night of drinking." Kelsier rubbed his chin. "I'm free too.”
Brandon Sanderson, Secret History

Octavia E. Butler
“Beware:
Ignorance
Protects itself.
Ignorance
Promotes suspicion.
Suspicion
Engenders fear.
Fear quails,
Irrational and blind,
Or fear looms,
Defiant and closed.
Blind, closed,
Suspicious, afraid,
Ignorance
Protects itself,
And protected,
Ignorance grows.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
