Book cover for The Mountain in the Sea
There is no silence in the living nervous system. An electrical symphony of communication streams through our neurons every moment we exist. We are built for communication. Only death brings silence. —Dr. Ha Nguyen, How Oceans Think

Sarah Pinsker
“Fear is a virus. Music is a virus and a vaccine and a cure.”
Sarah Pinsker, A Song for a New Day

Peter S. Beagle
“Claudio Bianchi did write poetry [...] He had no vanity about this, no fantasies of literary celebrity; he simply took pleasure putting words in order, exactly as he laid out seedlings in the spring, and tasting them afterward, as he tasted fresh new scallions or ripe tomatoes, or smelled mint or garlic on his hands.”
Peter S. Beagle, In Calabria

N.K. Jemisin
“Everyone—even the poor, even the lazy, even the undesirable—can matter. Do you see how just the idea of this provokes utter rage in some? That is the infection defending itself … because if enough of us believe a thing is possible, then it becomes so.”
N.K. Jemisin, How Long 'til Black Future Month?

John Joseph Adams
“The lesson you receive from The Chronicles of Narnia is that reality is not where it’s at, my friend, so get out by any point of egress you can find and get into somewhere better.”
John Joseph Adams, Other Worlds Than These

“Wherever the good letters had fallen like stars, souls flashed forth from formerly blank faces. People danced in puddles, muddy to their waists. Kissed each other. Clasped hands. Spoke tenderly. Wept.”
E. Lily Yu, On Fragile Waves
