“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?”

“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

“What you make from a tree should be at least as miraculous as what you cut down.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory
