“Four billion? Are you sure it’s not million?”
“I’m sure, Boss. Four billion in available cryptocurrency.”

“The sun burns, clawing its way higher and higher in the sky, scorching Lylitte's neck and shoulders. It's more than just the heat that overwhelms. Her belly feels as if it has doubled in size, and all her parts are swollen; her back is exhausted, and her joints ache. She watches from under heavy lids as an indifferent land of sparse grass, dirt, and sand give off waves of heat that look as though it will cook her and her children alive. Earth is horrendous and uncomfortable and ugly, she reflects. How will we possibly survive?”
― Joseph A. Anderson, Return to Planet Earth

“What the American people didn’t know was how aggressive the government was in protecting our defenses and creating weapons. FDR had already secretly approved the Manhattan Project to build an atomic bomb. And the government saw the waterfront as vital to our defenses. They feared that spies or other saboteurs would infiltrate the docks and interrupt the shipments of supplies or somehow obtain vital information about America’s secrets. They made a deal with the Mafia, specifically gangster Charles “Lucky” Luciano.”
― A.G. Russo, The Cases Nobody Wanted

“Anneydi bu kadınlar, ama bizim anladığımız gibi umutsuz ve istemsiz bir doğurganlıkla ülkelerini doldurup taşırmaya zorlanan, toprak üstüne toprak dolduran, sonra da çocuklarının acı çekmesini, çektirmesini, birbirleriyle savaşıp ölmesini izlemek zorunda kalan annelerden değillerdi. Bilinçli insan yaratanlardı onlar. Onlar için anne sevgisi vahşi bir tutku değil, bir "içgüdü", kişisel bir duyguydu, annelik onlar için bir dindi.”
― Charlotte Perkins Gilman

“نعمةٌ كبرى أن تكون وألا تكون، فأقصى درجات الحرية ألا تكون لافتًا للعين أو للأذن، تقول ما يعجبك ولا يحاسبك أحد، كأنك وحدك في الدنيا أو كأنك صنعت الدنيا على مزاجك، جعلت كل الناس خدامين السيادة ونزعت لسان كل واحد منهم وفقأت عينه وسددت أذنيه، ثم قلت وفعلت ما بدا لك، فلا أحد يحاسبك.”
― جان بول سارتر
