Octavia E. Butler
“The child in each of us
Knows paradise.
Paradise is home.
Home as it was
Or home as it should have been.

Paradise is one's own place,
One's own people,
One's own world,
Knowing and known,
Perhaps even
Loving and loved.

Yet every child
Is cast from paradise-
Into growth and new community,
Into vast, ongoing
Change.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

“There is no end
To what a living world
Will demand of you.”

“I’m still learning how dogged people can be in denial, even when their freedom or their lives are at stake.”

“Drowning people
Sometimes die
Fighting their rescuers.”
Octavia Butler

“Once people get the idea that it’s all right to take what you want and destroy the rest, who knows when they’ll stop.”
