Joseph Heller
“You know, that might be the answer—to act boastfully about something we ought to be ashamed of. That’s a trick that never seems to fail.” “Do you think it will work?” “I’m sure it will. And let’s promote him to captain, too, just to make certain.”
Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Timothy Snyder
“A nationalist will say that “it can’t happen here,” which is the first step toward disaster. A patriot says that it could happen here, but that we will stop it.”
Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

Christopher Ruocchio
“Men are slower to act from principle than self-interest, and far slower to act on principle than jealousy or revenge.”
Christopher Ruocchio, Demon in White

Kim Stanley Robinson
“History too has an inertia. In the four dimensions of spacetime, particles (or events) have directionality; mathematicians, trying to show this, draw what they call “world lines” on graphs. In human affairs, individual world lines form a thick tangle, curling out of the darkness of prehistory and stretching through time: a cable the size of Earth itself, spiraling round the sun on a long curved course. That cable of tangled world lines is history. Seeing where it has been, it is clear where it is going – it is a matter of simple extrapolation. For what kind of Δ v would it take to escape history, to escape an inertia that powerful, and carve a new course? The hardest part is leaving Earth behind.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars

Timothy Snyder
“The mistake is to assume that rulers who came to power through institutions cannot change or destroy those very institutions--even when that is exactly what they have announced that they will do. Revolutionaries sometimes do intend to destroy institutions all at once. This was the approach of the Russian Bolsheviks. Sometimes institutions are deprived of vitality and function, turned into a simulacrum of what they once were, so that they gird the new order rather than resisting it.”
Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
