R.F. Kuang
“The world is not a complete system; there is always an exception. No explanation for its existence; no reason why one might expect it to have existed before or to ever exist again. The world was simply unknowable; exceptions cropped up all the time, and all you had to do to beat the odds was just look.”
R.F. Kuang, Katabasis

“Some people just are that cruel. There is no design. They are not giants. They don’t do it for any reason, they just like it. And the rest of us just have to survive them.”
R.F. Kuang, Katabasis

“These things happen. And we say to ourselves, “Never again.” And a hundred years pass. And they happen. Again.”
qntm, There Is No Antimemetics Division

Ursula K. Le Guin
“That, as of old, was the writer's job, maybe his primary job. To show us the futures we didn't want, and the futures we could have if we wanted. The key line in the speech for me, was the one about, "We live in captialism, its power seems inescapable--but then, so did the divine right of kings." We can change out lives.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Ursula K. Le Guin: The Last Interview and Other Conversations

R.F. Kuang
“He hated this meat sack he’d been trapped in; hated every tissue and organ that sapped his attention and energy when all he wanted to do was sit and think. He demanded so little of his body, and yet it would not even afford him this.”
R.F. Kuang, Katabasis
