Mark  Lawrence
“We might live in a multiverse of infinite wonder, but we are what we are, and can only care about what falls into our own orbit.”
Mark Lawrence, One Word Kill

Myke Cole
“It is easy to mistake fleeing for traveling. There are many among us who would prefer to run no longer.”
Myke Cole, The Queen of Crows

C.J. Tudor
“People tried to make sense of tragedy, when the point of tragedy was that it was senseless. Bad things didn't happen for a greater reason. They just happened.”
C.J. Tudor, The Other People

Leopoldo Gout
“Like I said last time, the world our parents grew up in is history. All the old rules, we've thrown them out. We're the ones making the future. We're the founding fathers. Hand us universal Wi-Fi and soup dumplings and we'll fix the world.
So how do you fit in? What if you can't code? What if you've never been able to build anything more than a birdhouse? It doesn't matter. You've got skills that you probably disniss as tricks. That dance you can do, that song you can sing, the painting hanging in your room, those are all skills we need.
See there's a reason my status online is recruiting for the future.
We broke some eggs and we baked a cake. It was delicious, really amazing cream cheese frosting. I saved you a piece, but I don't want to give it to you. I want to teach you how to bake your own cake from scratch. Only, instead of flour and water and eggs, I want you to make something with oil paints, yarn, peptides, or computer parts.
The revolution is now. Welcome aboard. And, uh, get ready to create...”
Leopoldo Gout, Genius: The Revolution

C.J. Tudor
“There was only one problem with hatred, Gabe thought. And it wasn't that it would eat you up or destroy you. That was bullshit. Hatred could fuel you through the worst of times. Grief, despair, terror. Live and forgiveness might keep you warm, but hatred would power your rocket all the way to the moon.

No, the problem was that, eventually, hatred burned itself out.”
C.J. Tudor, The Other People
