Ling  Ma
“To live in a city is to live the life that it was built for, to adapt to its schedule and rhythms, to move within the transit layout made for you during the morning and evening rush, winding through the crowds of fellow commuters. To live in a city is to consume its offerings. To eat at its restaurants. To drink at its bars. To shop at its stores. To pay its sales taxes. To give a dollar to its homeless.

To live in a city is to take part in and to propagate its impossible systems. To wake up. To go to work in the morning. It is also to take pleasure in those systems because, otherwise, who could repeat the same routines, year in, year out?”
Ling Ma, Severance

“Usually," Xiala said carefully, "when someone describes a man as harmless, he ends up being a villain.”
Rebecca Roanhorse, Black Sun

Ling  Ma
“A second chance doesn't mean you're in the clear. In many ways, it is the more difficult thing. Because a second chance means that you have to try harder. You must rise to the challenge without the blind optimism of ignorance.”
Ling Ma, Severance

Richard Powers
“A great truth comes over him: Trees fall with spectacular crashes. But planting is silent and growth is invisible.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Ling  Ma
“Memories beget memories. Shen fever being a disease of remembering, the fevered are trapped indefinitely in their memories. But what is the difference between the fevered and us? Because I remember too, I remember perfectly. My memories replay, unprompted, on repeat. And our days, like theirs, continue in an infinite loop.”
Ling Ma, Severance
