Abaddon's Gate (Expanse, #3)

by James S.A. Corey

What had been logical became dumb, and all it took was changing the context.

Show a human a closed door, and no matter how many open doors she finds, she’ll be haunted by what might be behind it.

Charting the course of a life was making a map of the ways each event changed the person, leaving someone different on the other side.

God might not care about financial standing, but He was the only one.

Violence is what people do when they run out of good ideas. It’s attractive because it’s simple, it’s direct, it’s almost always available as an option. When you can’t think of a good rebuttal for your opponent’s argument, you can always punch them in the face.
