“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.”
Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

“I want to take him down, down, to the cold archives beneath the temple, to the tunnles where we keep the past, to show him selfies and pictures of food, jokes and terrible puns in dead, archaic scripts, tell him, look, look - look at people living. Look how beautiful it is to be alive.”

Jodi Taylor

Jodi Taylor, A Trail Through Time

Jodi Taylor, Just One Damned Thing After Another
