"Yes, still going... very slowly, also because you have to keep your mind to it, even if it's a bit of a page-turner. Circumstances just don't allow me to go faster, also as other books come in-between." Jun 10, 2024 12:40AM

Richard Powers
“Buddha’s words: A tree is a wondrous thing that shelters, feeds, and protects all living things. It even offers shade to the axmen who destroy it.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

“Life is terrifying. None of us have a rule book. None of us know what we're doing here. So, the easiest way to stare reality in the face and not utterly lose your shit is to believe that you have control over it. If you believe you have control, then you believe you're at the top. And if you're at the top, then people who aren't like you... well, they've got to be somewhere lower, right? Every species does this. Does it again and again and again. Doesn't matter if they do it to themselves, or another species, or someone they created.”
Becky Chambers, A Closed and Common Orbit

“N'essaye jamais de détrousser quelqu'un qui fait deux fois ta taille et qui porte une épée, surtout s'il est accompagné de deux types du genre de ceux qui sont avec moi! C'est compris?”
Fabien Cerutti, Le Fou prend le Roi

Richard Powers
“You and the tree in your backyard come from a common ancestor. A billion and a half years ago, the two of you parted ways. But even now, after an immense journey in separate directions, that tree and you still share a quarter of your genes. . . .”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

Arthur C. Clarke
“Like every human being, Alvin was in some measure a machine, his actions predetermined by his inheritance. That did not alter his need for understanding and sympathy, nor did it render him immune to loneliness or frustration. To his own people, he was so unaccountable a creature that they sometimes forgot that he still shared their emotions.”
Arthur C. Clarke, The City and the Stars
