"As a non-short story reader (typically), I am really digging this. About to head into the two novellas that finish off the book. Excited!" Jul 03, 2026 11:27AM

Scott Hutchins
“The problem with epiphanies is the next day they feel like they happened to someone else. Inspiration will get you nowhere in life.”
Scott Hutchins, A Working Theory of Love

“Opinions are like ugly children … despite it all you love your own.”
Scott Hutchins, A Working Theory of Love

Daryl Gregory
“The problem with getting old was that each day had to compete with the thousands of others gone by. How wonderful would a day have to be to win such a beauty contest? To even make it into the finals? Never mind that memory rigged the game, airbrushed the flaws from its contestants, while the present had to shuffle into the spotlight unaided, all pockmarked with mundanities and baggy with annoyances.”
Daryl Gregory, Spoonbenders

Ziya Tong
“The iron that makes our blood red was made in the final moments before a star died. For all of us, then, our very lifeblood began with a spectacular death in a solar system.”
Ziya Tong, The Reality Bubble: Blind Spots, Hidden Truths and the Dangerous Illusions that Shape Our World

“You think fairy tales are only for girls? Here’s a hint—ask yourself who wrote them. I assure you, it wasn’t just the women. It’s the great male fantasy—all it takes is one dance to know that she’s the one. All it takes is the sound of her song from the tower, or a look at her sleeping face. And right away you know—this is the girl in your head, sleeping or dancing or singing in front of you. Yes, girls want their princes, but boys want their princesses just as much. And they don’t want a very long courtship. They want to know immediately.”
Rachel Cohn, Dash & Lily's Book of Dares
