“Our species doesn’t operate by reality. It operates by stories. Cities are a story. Money is a story. Space was a story, once. A king tells us a story about who we are and why we’re great, and that story is enough to make us go kill people who tell a different story. Or maybe the people kill the king because they don’t like his story and have begun to tell themselves a different one. When our planet started dying, our species was so caught up in stories. We had thousands of stories about ourselves – that’s still true, don’t forget that for a minute – but not enough of us were looking at the reality of things. Once reality caught up with us and we started changing our stories to acknowledge it, it was too late.”
Becky Chambers, Record of a Spaceborn Few

Isaac Asimov
“People think of education as something they can finish.”
Isaac Asimov

Terry Pratchett
“Granny subsided into unaccustomed, troubled silence, and tried to listen to the prologue. The theater worried her. It had a magic of its own, one that didn’t belong to her, one that wasn’t in her control. It changed the world, and said things were otherwise than they were. And it was worse than that. It was magic that didn’t belong to magical people. It was commanded by ordinary people, who didn’t know the rules. They altered the world because it sounded better.”
Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters

William Shakespeare
“I would not wish Any companion in the world but you, Nor can imagination form a shape, Besides yourself, to like of.”
William Shakespeare, The Tempest

James Goldman
“In a world where carpenters get resurrected, everything is possible.”
James Goldman, The Lion in Winter
