“It's the job of fourteen-year-olds not to be great at things, the only expectation they have to live up to is to be morons, they're put on this earth so their moms and dads will support tge headache-pill industry.”
Fredrik Backman (Author)

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

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

Elle McNicoll
“Books are like little pockets of time. Little artifacts from other cultures and other periods of history. You can go to a museum where they put everything behind glass and won't let you touch things. Or you can read a book.”
Elle McNicoll, Like a Charm

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
