“Think of memories as books, and the brain as a library. You can only reach the books on the shelves closest to you. But that doesn't mean the other ones aren't there. And the knowledge from each book shapes how you think, even if you don't remember the books themselves.”
― Jordan Ifueko, Redemptor

“What good is a voice with no story to tell?”
― Jordan Ifueko, Redemptor

“Monsters were nothing. The true terrors were people like me - the ones who saw suffering, who heard the screams of a hundred generations echoing for miles around them - and still did nothing.”
― Jordan Ifueko, Raybearer

“My personal belief is that we turn to postapocalyptic fiction not because we’re drawn to disaster, per se, but because we’re drawn to what we imagine might come next. We long secretly for a world with less technology in it.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility
