Becky Chambers Quote: “Building takes many, many mistakes.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “For anybody who could use a break.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “What if that is enough, for now? What if we’re both trying to answer something much too big before we’ve answered the small thing we should have started with? What if it’s enough to just be... Us.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Robots, they’ll remind you, possessed no self-aware tendencies whatsoever when they were first deployed, and were originally intended as a supplement to the human workforce, not as the full replacement they became.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “If we want change, or good fortune, or solace, we have to create it for ourselves.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “The robot looked a touch offended. “I would never call you just an animal, Sibling Dex.” It turned its gaze to the road, head held high. “We don’t have to fall into the same category to be of equal value.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “The mirror knows you’re anxious to see yourself – but take your time, it says. I’m here when you’re ready, and not a second before. It is the kindest object placement I’ve ever seen.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “If you understand that robots’ lack of purpose – our refusal of your purpose – is the crowning mark of our intellectual maturity, why do you put so much energy in seeking the opposite?”
Becky Chambers Quote: “But you can’t fix everything with cake.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “He no longer felt helplessness. He felt powerful. And that was what scared him.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “I’m sorry, but I can’t accept a lesser evil for the sake of it being lesser.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Fear is miserable, as is pain. As is hunger. Every animal is hardwired to do absolutely anything to stop those feelings as fast as possible. We’re all just trying to be comfortable, and well fed, and unafraid. It wasn’t the elk’s fault. The elk just.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “So, we’re smarter than our remnants, is what you’re saying.” Mosscap gave a slow nod. “If we choose to be.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “There was no law that was just in every situation, no blanket rule that could apply to everyone, no explanation that accounted for every component. This did not mean that laws and rules were not helpful, or that explanations should not be sought, but rather that there should be no fear in changing them as needed, for nothing in the universe ever held still.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “But I’m not a moth. I’m human. And in humans, there are far more stages than just two. I could not have predicted each version of me that I shifted into, but through my history, one constant has always remained true: change itself. I might not be able to return to the other Ariadnes, but I would not always be the Ariadne floating in front of the mirror, either.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “I appreciate the intent. I really do. But if you don’t want to infringe upon my agency, let me have agency.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “So, the paradox is that the ecosystem as a whole needs its participants to act with restraint in order to avoid collapse, but the participants themselves have no inbuilt mechanism to encourage such behavior.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “The human body can adapt to almost anything, but it is deceptively selective about the way it does so.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “My mind felt quiet, at last. But the feeling was so precious, that I was reluctant to accept it. I had become so accustomed to the cacophony that part of me perversely wished for it, more trusting of unending discord than peace that could be snatched away.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “The cheap knick-knack in his hands now carried with it a sentiment of the present he would cherish, and a reminder of the past he would always loathe. Only the finest art could accomplish both those things at once.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Aeluon women didn’t have breasts, but after meeting Pei, Ashby had found that he could do without. His teenage self would’ve been horrified.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “You know how it is; sometimes you just want to have a moment between yourself and a turtle and no one else.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “We have found nothing you can sell. We have found nothing you can put to practical use. We have found no worlds that could be easily or ethically settled, were that end desired. We have satisfied nothing but curiosity, gained nothing but knowledge.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “I went through the library and found a book that taught me how. I’ve never read a book before; it was very exciting. They’re not supposed to fall apart when you touch them, though, right?” Somewhere in the world, an archaeologist was screaming, but Dex smiled, partly amused, mostly relieved that the hermitage wasn’t burning down around them.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “And sometimes fear is good. Fear keeps you alive. But it can also keep you from what you really want.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “You’re an animal, Sibling Dex. You are not separate or other. You’re an animal. And animals have no purpose. Nothing has a purpose. The world simply is.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “It felt, in that moment, like time had compressed, like history was no longer segmented into Ages and Eras, but here, living, now.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Life was fluid, gradient, ever shifting.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “What do you need?” Mosscap asked. “Tea,” Dex said. Caffeine, they thought, grabbing a few of their jars. They had a feeling they were going to need it.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “What kind of books does Ms. Amelia collect?” “Oh, entirely pornography,” Mosscap said. “It was very educational.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “People – a group comprised of every sapient species, organic or otherwise – were chaos, but chaos was good. Chaos was the only sensible conclusion.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “You and I – we’re just atoms that arranged themselves the right way, and we can understand that about ourselves. Is that not amazing?”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Fifty percent of Panga’s single continent was designated for human use; the rest was left to nature, and the ocean was barely touched at all. It was a crazy split, if you thought about it: half the land for a single species, half for the hundreds of thousands of others. But then, humans had a knack for throwing things out of balance. Finding a limit they’d stick to was victory enough.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Roveg was nothing if not a champion of playing one’s own tune, but there were some areas in which individuality stopped being a virtue and became more of a game of chance.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “We abandoned our short sight. We abandoned our bloody ways. We made ourselves anew.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “A moth was a caterpillar, once, but it no longer is a caterpillar. It cannot break itself back down, cannot metamorphose in reverse. To try to eat leaves again would mean starvation. Crawling back into the husk would provide no shelter. It is a paradox – the impossibility of reclaiming that which lies behind, housed within a form comprised entirely of the repurposed pieces of that same past. We exist where we begin, yet to remain there is death.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “How am I supposed to tell people they’re good enough as they are when I don’t think I am?”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Dex realized with a stomach-souring thud that they were standing on the wrong side of the vast gulf between having read about doing a thing and doing the thing.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Knowledge should always be free,’ she said. ‘What people do with it is up to them.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “You’re an animal. And animals have no purpose. Nothing has a purpose. The world simply.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “If you’re focused on moving from sign to sign, there’s no opportunity for happy accidents.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “It is difficult for anyone born and raised in human infrastructure to truly internalize the fact that your view of the world is backward.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “She would never, ever understand the idea that a child, especially an infant, was of more value than an adult who had already gained all the skills needed to benefit the community. The death of potential was somehow worse than a loss of achievement and knowledge was something she had never been able to wrap her brain around.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “And yet, if they were completely honest, the thing they had come to look forward to most was not the smiles nor the gifts nor the sense of work well done, but the part that came after all of that. The part when they returned to their wagon, shut themself inside, and spent a few precious, shapeless hours entirely alone. Why wasn’t it enough?”
Becky Chambers Quote: “He’d been taught that if one person had more than another, feeling guilty about it was the least productive reaction. The only proper way to approach such inequities was to figure out how best to wield them, so as to bring others up to where you stood.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Don’t you worry. It’s a kick in the head, but it’s a fun kick in the head.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “The airlock opened before me, edgeless vacuity beyond. There were no winds here, no crashing waves. Only the cold constancy of stars, to which I was just a crude bit of wet carbon, a flake of skin you brush aside. My pain and pettiness and mistakes and inadequacies did not matter. I did not matter. Nothing we did out here mattered. Nothing we could or would ever do would matter, in the face of this.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “Vast civilizations lay within the mosaic of dirt: hymenopteran labyrinths, rodential panic rooms, life-giving airways sculpted by the traffic of worms, hopeful spiders’ hunting cabins, crash pads for nomadic beetles, trees shyly locking toes with one another. It was here that you’d find the resourcefulness of rot, the wholeness of fungi.”
Becky Chambers Quote: “I read a book while you were sleeping,” Mosscap said, holding up its pocket computer. “And I would really like to discuss it with you.” Dex blinked twice. “You woke me up to talk about a book?”
