“I liked the imaginary people on the entertainment feed way more than I liked real ones, but you can’t have one without the other.”
Martha Wells, All Systems Red

N.K. Jemisin
“They’re afraid because we exist, she says. There’s nothing we did to provoke their fear, other than exist. There’s nothing we can do to earn their approval, except stop existing – so we can either die like they want, or laugh at their cowardice and go on with our lives.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Stone Sky

Alexander Chee
“When I am gripped with despair, when I think I might stop, I speak to my dead. Tell them a story. What am I doing with this life? They hold me accountable. I let them make me bolder or more modest or louder or more moving, but I ask them to listen, and then write.”
Alexander Chee, How to Write an Autobiographical Novel

Ursula K. Le Guin
“It appears that we've given up on the long-range view. That we've decided not to think about consequences—about cause and effect. Maybe that's why I feel that I live in exile. I used to live in a country that had a future.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, No Time To Spare: Thinking About What Matters

Sally Coulthard
“If you unpack the relationship between people and hedgehogs over the years, it’s not always been an easy one. From the earliest written texts that feature hedgehogs, it seems they’ve been misunderstood. Pliny, writing only a few decades after the birth of Christ, talked with great confidence about hedgehogs catching food by impaling it on their spines:

'They wallow and roll themselves upon apples and such fruit lying under foot, and so catch them up with their prickles, and one more besides they take in their mouth, & so carrie them into hollow trees.'

Medieval manuscripts continue the error – the 12th-century Aberdeen Bestiary describes

'The hedgehogs, covered in bristles, roll up in a ball, and carry grapes back to their young by impaling them on their spines.'

It seems no one had bothered to actually watch a hedgehog at work.”
Sally Coulthard, The Hedgehog Handbook
