Quotes to use in new blog posts:

"Guyal of Sfere" by Jack Vance:

  • Quote: "An ancient principle specifies that, in order to destroy a substance, the nature of the substance must be determined."

"The Cristóbal Effect" by Simon McCaffery

"All existence is a theft paid for by other existences; no life flowers except on a cemetery. — Remy de Gourmont"

I can use it to explain opportunity cost. No matter how two things are different, if they are competing for your time, they can be compared (oh did I just make a new quote?)

"Screwfly Solution" by James Tiptree Jr (pen name of Alice Bradley). The last sentences of the story is amazing:

  • "But it wasn't an angel. I think I saw a real estate agent."

  • "Prayers of Forges and Furnaces": The old gods have been defeated by the god-machine. One of them returns.

    • "All gods are cruel, Xochipil. What else did you expect?"

Lots of quotes from "What I Assume You Shall Assume" from Dead Man's hand. Check https://parsiya.io/literature/bookreviews/#deadmanshand.

"Warlock Rules" by Hank Schwaeble in High Noon on Proxima B

Every place had rules, the only questions was, how did you learn then, and who enforced them?

"You can easily return to the past, but no one is there anymore."
