Rebecca Makkai
“I no longer believe I can save people. I've tried, and I've failed, and while I'm sure there are people out there in the world with that particular gift, I'm not one of them...But books, on the other hand: I do still believe that books can save you.”
Rebecca Makkai, The Borrower

Lois McMaster Bujold

If all you need is somebody to follow orders, you can hire an idiot. In fact, an idiot would be better suited.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Cetaganda
