“Surely it isn’t illegal here to complain about young people these days? How cruel. I had thought it a basic part of human nature, one of the few universally practiced human customs.”

“You are so civilized. So polite. So brave coming here alone when you know no one here would dare to touch you. So easy to be all those things, when all the power is on your side.”
― Ann Leckie, Ancillary Sword

“You can kill me, you mean. You can destroy my sense of self and replace it with one you approve of.”
― Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice

“Civilian casualties?” I asked.
“There always are.”
― Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice
