“You’re talking as if this is an opportunity.” “It is. You asked me for an answer, last night. This is it. RKC is dead. Let it rot. Build something new.”
Max Gladstone, Two Serpents Rise

Lev Grossman
“Are you kidding? That guy was a mystery wrapped in an enigma and crudely stapled to a ticking fucking time bomb. He was either going to hit somebody or start a blog.”
Lev Grossman, The Magicians

Scott Lynch
“My disinterest in your bullshit is so tangible you could make bricks out of it”
Scott Lynch, The Republic of Thieves

Max Gladstone
“Well, here we are. Let’s change. Let’s change the world. Together.” “You sound like my father.” “Your father wants the gods back on their pedestals. I want us working as one: humans with Craft, gods with divine power, priests with Applied Theology. But we need space to build that society. We need the time and the power to change, and we’ll never have that time or power with Craftsmen crushing us. We need freedom, and I can win that freedom. Not in a decade or three. Today. In one stroke.” “You want a moderate revolution. You just need to kill a few people first.” “A few people. Yes. To free a city. To save a planet. Dresediel Lex will be a model for the world.” “I kind of like it the way it is.”
Max Gladstone, Two Serpents Rise

Kim Stanley Robinson
“That's libertarians for you — anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars
