Stephen R. Donaldson
“Joy is in the ears that hear, not in the mouth that speaks. The world has few stories glad in themselves, and we must have gay ears to defy Despite"

Foamfollower from (Lord Foul's Bane; 1977)”
Stephen R. Donaldson, Lord Foul's Bane

Ken Liu
“The animals will stop moving when I stop breathing. But if I write to you with all my heart, I’ll leave a little of myself behind on this paper, in these words. Then, if you think of me on Qingming, when the spirits of the departed are allowed to visit their families, you’ll make the parts of myself I leave behind come alive too. The creatures I made for you will again leap and run and pounce, and maybe you’ll get to see these words then.”
Ken Liu, The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories

Ken Liu
“You know what the Chinese think is the saddest feeling in the world? It's for a child to finally grow the desire to take care of his parents, only to realize that they were long gone.”
Ken Liu, The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories

Seneca
“What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a friend to myself.”
Seneca, Epistulae Morales Ad Lucilium: Latin Text

Ken Liu
“That feeling in your heart: it’s called mono no aware. It is a sense of the transience of all things in life. The sun, the dandelion, the cicada, the Hammer, and all of us: we are all subject to the equations of James Clerk Maxwell, and we are all ephemeral patterns destined to eventually fade, whether in a second or an eon.”
Ken Liu, The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories
