“In this country of grief, the best kind of shelter is to be understood, to have someone stop next to me and, without asking anything, put their umbrella over us both, between us and the rain.”
― V.V. Ganeshananthan, Brotherless Night

“Rotating about the earth in their spacecraft they are so together, and so alone, that even their thoughts, their internal mythologies, at times convene. Sometimes they dream the same dreams - of fractals and blue spheres and familiar faces engulfed in dark, and of the bright energetic black of space that slams their senses. Raw space is a panther, feral and primal; they dream it stalking through their quarters.”
― Samantha Harvey, Orbital

“In the Colombo refugee camp, I had longed for a book to remove me from reality. With every chapter I read now, I felt not removed but partially returned to a safety I had thought entirely lost. I tethered my interior life to the pages, which the people I loved had turned in different times and places.”
― V.V. Ganeshananthan, Brotherless Night

“With each sunrise nothing is diminished or lost and every single one staggers them. Every single time that blade of light cracks open and the sun explodes from it, a momentary immaculate star, then spills its light like a pail upended, and floods the earth, every time night becomes day in a matter of a minute, every time the earth dips through space like a creature diving and finds another day, day after day after day from the death of space, a day every ninety minutes, every day brand new and of infinite supply, it staggers them.”
― Samantha Harvey, Orbital
