“He has to find more and better ways of occupying his time.

“Glenn used to say the reason you can't really imagine yourself being dead was that as soon as you say, 'I'll be dead,' you've said the word I, and so you're still alive inside the sentence. And that's how people got the idea of the immortality of the soul - it was a consequence of grammar.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood

“If our government tries to back the banks instead of us, then we elect a different government. We pretend that democracy is real, and that will make it real. We elect a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. That was the whole idea in the first place. As they used to tell us in school. And it’s a good idea, if we could make it real. It might never have been real, up till now. But now’s the time. Now’s the time, people!”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, New York 2140

“Algunos escritores de ciencia ficción, astutos y muy meditabundos, escribieron lúgubres relatos acerca de tan funesta eventualidad mientras el resto de la civilización seguía incendiando el planeta como si fuera la obra maestra de un pirómano. En serio, esa era la consideración de aquellos cabezas de chorlito hacia sus nietos, así creían a sus científicos, a pesar de que tan pronto como sentían el menor resfriado acudían al científico más cercano (a saber, un médico) en busca de ayuda.”

“Happiness doesn’t require comfort and distraction. I always suspected this. What it needs is a community of cooperating, productive people who depended on each other and work toward a common goal. If you have that, happiness is assured, whatever discomfort you may have to put up with. If it’s lacking, as the case was for most people in advanced industrial societies, then no amount of comfort and entertainment can satisfy the fundamental need.”
― Francis Mont, House Arrest: A Story of Liberation

“Regardless of what else he is, he is still a child, as they all are. And don’t all children deserve to be protected? To be loved and nurtured so that they may grow and shape the world to make it a better place? In that way, they are no different than any other child in the village, or beyond. But they’re told they are, by people such as yourselves, and people who govern them and our world. People who put rules and restrictions in place to keep them separated and isolated. I don’t know what it will take to change that, if anything. But it won’t start at the top. It’ll start with us.”
― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
