Ann Leckie

Quotes

• “You might also see why it seemed a bit odd, to Radchaai ears, to hear someone who believed gravity wells were the land of the dead call people superstitious for worshiping a lizard.”
• “I don’t confuse abstract philosophical concepts with reality.”
• “You don’t like me saying that, but here’s the truth: luxury always comes at someone else’s expense. One of the many advantages of civilization is that one generally doesn’t have to see that, if one doesn’t wish. You’re free to enjoy its benefits without troubling your conscience.”
• “Without feelings insignificant decisions become excruciating attempts to compare endless arrays of inconsequential things. It’s just easier to handle those with emotions.”
• “Her respectful tone sounded almost sincere.”
• “What, after all, was the point of civilization if not the well-being of citizens?”
