“Every discovery in pure science is potentially subversive.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

“I don't think you realize how different it is for me than for you. You can make your way by your own wits and claws, while I must always be dependent on some male to protect me. Wits I may have, but claws I am without, and while hands are useful for writing and fine work they are no use in a battle.”
― Jo Walton, Tooth and Claw

“I had found the upper limit of my courage. Fortunately for me, there is no known lower limit to human stupidity.”
― Ben Aaronovitch, Broken Homes

“I walked around and around it, not because I felt I had to, but because I felt like it deserved that much attention from me. I found myself looking at each individual part closely, rather than the entire thing, because if I looked at the entire thing it would be like staring at the sun. It was such an unblinking portrayal of a person that it rose above any hack-neyed hype about it. It flicked away all my cynicism about Seeing Art without flinching and just made me look. I walked out of there thinking, Now I am older.”
― Daniel Handler, The Basic Eight
