Adrian Tchaikovsky
“Knowledge. New, shiny things. Better thinkers than we have observed that, when you reach this level of post-scarcity civilization, it’s either wallow in your own excesses forever or seek out newness. Knowledge and understanding is the crown atop the hierarchy of needs, the thing you can’t have enough of.”
Adrian Tchaikovsky

Frances Hardinge
“Kindness is not weakness. To be kind in this unkind world is walking through a battlefield without armour or sword. It takes courage and strength to be kind.”
Frances Hardinge, Island of Whispers

Paul Murray
“It kind of takes the pressure off, you say. I feel like if people knew they were mostly bacteria it would solve a lot of problems.”
Paul Murray, The Bee Sting

Paul Murray
“People get so hung up on are they this kind of person or that. But if you have ten times more not-human cells than human cells, then, in a way, you're not even you.”
Paul Murray, The Bee Sting

Adrian Tchaikovsky
“Because we all know the past was horrible, and the only point of learning about or preserving the horrible horrible past is so we can know we’ve got it better now! That’s history! That’s education! That’s progress!”
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Service Model
