“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

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

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

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

Alan Alda
“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”
Alan Alda
