Book cover for Land of Magic (Dragon Heart, #6)

“Does that mean it's not no? Is that another yes? Now I'm confused.
"No?" I ask
"No" he says in Eridian.
"So, 'yes'?"
"No, yes."
"Yes?"
"No. No."

Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

Steven Pinker
“The first step toward wisdom is the realization that the laws of the universe don’t care about you. The next is the realization that this does not imply that life is meaningless, because people care about you, and vice versa.”
Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress

Blake Crouch
“Time is an illusion, a construct made out of human memory. There’s no such thing as the past, the present, or the future. It’s all happening now.”
Blake Crouch, Recursion
