“As he practiced his writing, Jijingi came to understand what Moseby had meant: writing was not just a way to record what someone said; it could help you decide what you would say before you said it. And words were not just the pieces of speaking; they were the pieces of thinking. When you wrote them down, you could grasp your thoughts like bricks in your hands and push them into different arrangements. Writing let you look at your thoughts in a way you couldn’t if you were just talking, and having seen them, you could improve them, make them stronger and more elaborate.”
― Ted Chiang, The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling

“Forgetting used to be a failing, a waste, a sign of senility. Now it takes effort. It may be as important as remembering.”

“Who we are cannot be separated from where we're from.”

“Everything we care about lies somewhere in the middle, where pattern and randomness interlace.”
