China Miéville
“Technically, our name, to those who speak science, is Homo sapiens— wise person. But we have been described in many other ways. Homo narrans, juridicus, ludens, diaspora: we are storytelling, legal, game-playing, scattered people, too. True but incomplete. That old phrase has the secret.

― China Miéville, Railsea

N.K. Jemisin
“Four are the tributaries of the great river. Four are the harvests from floodseason to dust. Four are the great treasures: timbalin, myrrh, lapis, and jungissa. Four bands of color mark the face of the Dreaming Moon. Red for blood. White for seed. Yellow for ichor. Black for bile.”

“The shadows of Ina-Karekh are the place where nightmares dwell, but not their source. Never forget: the shadowlands are not elsewhere. We create them. They are within.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The Killing Moon

Steven Erikson
“Fear bespeaks of wisdom. Recognition of responsibility.”
― Steven Erikson, Midnight Tides

“True peace required the presence of justice, not just the absence of conflict.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The Killing Moon
