Terry Pratchett
“Thunder rolled…   It is said that the gods play games with the lives of men. But what games, and why, and the identities of the actual pawns, and what the game is, and what the rules are—who knows? Best not to speculate. Thunder rolled… It rolled a six.”
Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

Jodi Taylor
“We don't do time-travel. That's for amateurs. We're not time-travellers - we're historians. We 'investigate major historical events in contemporary time'. so much more classy.”
Jodi Taylor, A Symphony of Echoes

“I want to take him down, down, to the cold archives beneath the temple, to the tunnles where we keep the past, to show him selfies and pictures of food, jokes and terrible puns in dead, archaic scripts, tell him, look, look - look at people living. Look how beautiful it is to be alive.”
Claire North, Notes from the Burning Age

Isaac Marion
“The apocalypse didn't happen overnight. The world didn't end in a satisfying climax of explosive special effects. It was slow. It was boring. It was one little thing at a time. One moral compromise, one abandoned ideal, one more justified injustice. No dramatic wave of destruction sweeping across the world, just scattered spots of rot forming throughout the decades, seemingly isolated incidents until the moment they all merged.”
Isaac Marion, The Burning World

Terry Southern
“The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish. Not shock—shock is a worn-out word—but astonish.”
Terry Southern
