Catherine Lacey
“It’s always seemed to me—and as I get older, I feel this even more intensely—that kindness to other people comes with its own reward. It can be immediately felt. And the only thing I can see that a belief in divinity makes possible in this world is a right toward cruelty—the belief in an afterlife being the real life … not here. People need a sense of righteousness to take things from others … to carry out violence. Divinity gives them that. It creates the reins for cruelty …”
Catherine Lacey, Pew

Cory Doctorow
“She was forty-five minutes late to work that day, but she had toast for breakfast. Goddamnit.”
Cory Doctorow, Radicalized: Four Tales of Our Present Moment

Cory Doctorow
“They’re kids. If they understood risks, they wouldn’t join uprisings and march in the streets and the world would be a simpler place. Not a better one, of course. But simpler.”
Cory Doctorow, Radicalized

Jo Walton
“I'll belong to libraries wherever I go. Maybe eventually I'll belong to libraries on other planets.”
Jo Walton, Among Others

Finn Butler
“Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent; but nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.”
Finn Butler
