“We all temporarily inhabit a planet of microbes, and we are guests here. Eventually they will have the planet to themselves again. They have been around before us and will persist long after us. The question is not how to fit them into our worlds, but how we can fit into theirs.”
James Hamblin, Clean: The New Science of Skin

“You’re an animal, Sibling Dex. You are not separate or other. You’re an animal. And animals have no purpose. Nothing has a purpose. The world simply is.”
Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it.”
Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

Nick Jaina
“Writing a poem is like trying to halt a supertanker by holding a dandelion up to it. You can laugh at the frivolity of it. You can ridicule the person for doing such a thing. But—and I’m not saying this makes you one of them—when you laugh at poets, you laugh alongside tyrants. You are standing next to the powerful and the angry and the rich, and you might as well be a bully too, laughing at the weak person cutting snowflakes out of tissue paper. Yes, you are right. But is right everything you want to be?”
Nick Jaina, Hitomi
