Kaliane Bradley
“You can’t trauma-proof life, and you can’t hurt-proof your relationships. You have to accept you will cause harm to yourself and others. But you can also fuck up, really badly, and not learn anything from it except that you fucked up. It’s the same with oppression. You don’t gain any special knowledge from being marginalized. But you do gain something from stepping outside your hurt and examining the scaffolding of your oppression.”
Kaliane Bradley, The Ministry of Time

Isaac Asimov
“Millions of worlds. Billions of cultures. Quadrillions of people. Decillions of interrelationships. --And you want me to reduce it to order."
"No, I want you to try. For the sake of those millions of worlds, billions of cultures, and quadrillions of people. Not for the Emperor. Not for Demerzel. For humanity."
"I will fail," said Seldon.
"Then we will be no worse off. Will you try?”
Isaac Asimov

Bryan Washington
“She said if we remembered nothing else she taught us, to know that love is a verb. She had makeup all over her brow. Smears of it on her lips.
When I'd started to open my mouth Javi kicked me under the table. Didn't even change the look on his face.
It is an active thing, she said. Something you have to do.”
Bryan Washington, Lot

“Forgiveness, which takes you back to the person you were and lets you reset them. Hope, which exists in a future in which you are new. Forgiveness and hope are miracles. They let you change your life. They are time-travel.”
Kaliane Bradley, The Ministry of Time

“I let her leave without saying goodbye and sat in the pool of silence that followed the crash of the front door slamming shut. This was one of my first lessons in how you make the future: moment by moment, you seal the doors of possibility behind you.”
Kaliane Bradley, The Ministry of Time
