Catherynne M. Valente
“A book is a door, you know. Always and forever. A book is a door into another place and another heart and another world.”
Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

Lewis Carroll
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”
Lewis Carroll

Junot Díaz
“Look, without our stories, without the true nature and reality of who we are as People of Color, nothing about fanboy or fangirl culture would make sense. What I mean by that is: if it wasn't for race, X-Men doesn't sense. If it wasn't for the history of breeding human beings in the New World through chattel slavery, Dune doesn't make sense. If it wasn't for the history of colonialism and imperialism, Star Wars doesn't make sense. If it wasn't for the extermination of so many Indigenous First Nations, most of what we call science fiction’s contact stories doesn't make sense. Without us as the secret sauce, none of this works, and it is about time that we understood that we are the Force that holds the Star Wars universe together. We’re the Prime Directive that makes Star Trek possible, yeah. In the Green Lantern Corps, we are the oath. We are all of these things—erased, and yet without us—we are essential.”
Junot Díaz

Catherynne M. Valente
“The whole point of growing up is to get big enough to hold the world you want inside you. But it takes a long time, and you really must eat your vegetables, and most often you have to make the world you want out of yourself.”
Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two

Catherynne M. Valente
“Men die. It's practically what they're for.”
Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless
