Isaac Asimov
“People tended to avoid the humiliation of failure by joining the obviously winning side even against their own opinions.”
Isaac Asimov, Forward the Foundation

Kelly Weinersmith
“Or perhaps you’re familiar with ethanol, which is a chemical that can be metabolized into poor life choices.”
Kelly Weinersmith, Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That'll Improve and/or Ruin Everything

Neal Asher
“Why do I get the feeling, interjected Cheops, that shit and fan are moving into conjunction, and that we might be in the way?”
Neal Asher, The Technician

George Orwell
“War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact.”
George Orwell, 1984

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“(Nothing, the General muttered, is ever so expensive as what is offered for free.)”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
