“I am remembering a thing, not of the past, but a thing that is yet to come. What is memory anyway? Memory is as much a product of the present as it is the past. Created with the perspectives of the present, the colors and limitations and lacunae of the present. Just as history is written by the victors, as the cliché goes, so too do the victors own the future. Who is to say we do not create memories out of the future as well? That the echo of an event doesn’t go both ways?”
― Anton Hur, Toward Eternity

“We are the same species. We're all human. It's not that people cannot understand me; it's simply that most of them don't want to”
― Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

“Yeah, well, time marches on. Getting caught up in causes don’t interest me. Not anymore. Especially when you see the scope of what this is.” He took the Heinz ketchup bottle from the condiment holder. “That’s the thing: Most people don’t understand this. The ingredients, what it goes on, where the energy comes from to create it, the ways the world’s gotta be directed and coaxed and violated and controlled to get this one little fucked bottle. And once you see how ketchup relates to imperial maintenance it’s tough to not get an overwhelmed quality to your thinking. Like one of them Magic Eye thingamajobs—hard the first time, but once you get it, you’ll never unsee it.”
― Stephen Markley, The Deluge

“That's all there is to the self, or the so-called 'self': traces of the people we rub up against. I loved Joanna's words and gestures and let them become part of me, intentionally or not. I suppose that is at the core of every relationship and the reason that in some sense no relationship ever ends.”
