Quotes by Marina J. Lostetter (?)

“Earth wants to be comfortable. The more comfortable someone is, a society is, the less likely they are to seek change, even positive change.”

“They may not appreciate our point of view. We might frighten them, or bore them, or make them uncomfortable. This does not mean we should go away.”

“Aimsley didn’t know what to do. Didn’t know how it fit into this universe, how to fix any of it. So it shrank the universe in its mind. It discarded the problems that were too big for it to hold. Too complex for it to solve. It focused in on what it could do right here, right now.”
― Marina J. Lostetter, Activation Degradation
