“Water from Saturn, vegetables and beef from the big mirror-fed greenhouses on Ganymede and Europa, organics from Earth and Mars. Power cells from Io, Helium-3 from the refineries on Rhea and Iapetus. A river of wealth and power unrivaled in human history came through Ceres.”
― James S.A. Corey, Leviathan Wakes

“You’re here, aren’t you?” I ask, speaking into the soft wind.

“I am always here,” a deep thunderous voice responds back.

I acknowledge his presence. “Why are you here?”

“You know better than to let your mind wander. Don’t let your thoughts take you to a dark place. There is no reason to look back.” The voice drifts through the wind.”
― Sunshine Rodgers, The Roland Sisters and The Spirit Program

“It was a desert world where the wind blew as hot as the devil’s backside”

“long legs stretched before him, elbows on his slightly bent knees, he was eye level with a thumb-sucking little girl with what looked to be a disproportionately large head atop a bone-thin body.  She popped her thumb out of her mouth with a wet noise and held both arms toward him expectantly.  Valerius stared at her motionlessly, uncertain what he should do. She tilted her head sideways as if in thought, then seemed to make a decision.  If the mountain wouldn’t come to her, she was going to take herself to the mountain.  She waddled bravely between the warrior’s spread legs and crawled unceremoniously into his lap.  She grabbed one of his forearms with both little hands, surprisingly strong in their sticky grip, yanking a few of his hairs in the process, and pulled his arm around to hold her securely in his lap, where she wriggled around to find a comfortable position and promptly stuck a thumb back into her mouth.”
