“People shouldn’t have to be afraid, Adam. Of anything. The universe is vast and terrifying and unthinkably dangerous and you deserve to be protected. To be kept safe and sound. Because otherwise those terrible things rule you and fear rules you and you can’t be who you really are. Freedom means no fear.” ~ qntm/Sam Hughes, There Is No Antimemetics Division

I read, which I suspect is the reason I’m still alive and writing all this down. Only now, after rereading the same thirty or so beat-up paperbacks over and over — what few I could carry into this hole in the wall while I waited for the world to end — do I realize how much I miss it. How much I need the stories. The words. ~ W.H. Chizmar, Them

They came for you, she says. They came and they died. And you don’t know how to feel about that. Or you’re feeling many things right now. All these things that humans love to write poems about. Have you ever listened to a poem? That’s how humans really sing, isn’t it? ~ Paul Yoon, Etna
