“It was always a strange thing, coming home. Coming home meant that you had, at one point, left it and, in doing so, irreversibly changed. How odd, then, to be able to return to a place that would always be anchored in your notion of the past. How could this place still be there, if the you that once lived there no longer existed?”
― Becky Chambers, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

“It was such a relief to be right even though you knew you only got there by trying every possible way to be wrong.”
― Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay

“I am as guilty as you and you are as guilty as me. We can repent together or we can die together. It must be our joint decision.”
― John Brunner, The Sheep Look Up

“Implicit in this was humanity. With it, the base of survival emerged - A magnificent ethic: The highest command is in terms of the species. The next is survival of group. The lowest of three is survival of self. All good and all evil, all morals, all progress, depend on this order of basic commands. To survive for the self at the price of the group is to jeopardize species. For a group to survive at the price of the species is manifest suicide. Here is the essence of good and of greed and a wellspring of justice for all of mankind.”
― Theodore Sturgeon, The Dreaming Jewels
