Miranda

“Gurathin turned to me. "So you don't have a governor module, but we could punish you by looking at you."

I looked at him. "Probably, right up until I remember I have guns built into my arms.”
― Martha Wells, All Systems Red

“I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites. It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don't know, a little under 35,000 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.”
― Martha Wells, All Systems Red

“your happiness
comes before
anyone else's
happiness.
-the real meaning of 'self respect'.”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Princess Saves Herself in This One

“When I had
no friends
I reached inside
my beloved
books
& sculpted some
out of
12 pt
Times new roman.

-- & it was almost good enough.”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Princess Saves Herself in This One
