“The sky is the curving arch of heaven, the airy realm of wind and space….We march through seasons set by the pace of the sun, and measure the length of a month by the phases of its sister, the moon.”
— Suzanne Brooker, The Elements of Landscape Oil Painting
The urge to ignore every responsibility I might have for the sole purpose of finishing a book.
“All of them monsters together.”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Blue Mars
“The heart is pleased by one thing after another.”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Blue Mars
“‘At every moment you should ask “What now is lacking?” and work at some acceptance of your current reality. This is sanity. This is life. You have to imagine your life from here on out.’”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Blue Mars
“Who would speak of these things when we were gone? …I began to wish that I could pour our memories into the water we carried, so that anyone drinking might see how it had been.”
— Téa Obreht, Inland
“Golden Rowan” poem by Bliss Carman, cited in Edith Holden’s The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady
“And it felt like getting away with something to lie up in the trees at night, unmarked yet close enough to hear the cameleers’ campfire snap, and discern from their muted talk a few of the old words that still tugged at my memory — fellow, father, God — all spoke in a rhythm so familiar it felt like trying to remember a dream.”
— Téa Obreht, Inland
“‘As long as they’re in chaos, we’re in danger.’”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars
“‘All poetry is a call to action.’”
— Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow
“And so the ka watch us, and they ask, who knows Ka? Who spends time with Ka, and learns Ka, and likes to touch Ka, and walks around on Ka, and lets Ka seep into them, and leaves the dust in their rooms alone? Those are the humans we’re going to talk to.”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars 
“But nothing lasts, not even stone, not even despair.”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars
I think about this periodically. Something about it, I guess...
“‘I suppose it’s this that makes me somehow happy. Have we ever been so free of choices? The past is wiped out, all that matters is now. The present and the future. And the future is this field of stones, and here we are….You never really summon all of your strength until you know that there’s no way back, no way to go but onward.’”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars
“‘Someone has to show what you mean when you talk about a different life, John Boone. Someone has to live the life.’”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars
“‘History is not evolution! It is a false analogy! Evolution is a matter of environment and chance, acting over millions of years. History is a matter of environment and choice, acting within lifetimes, and sometimes within years….So that if we choose to establish certain institutions…there they will be! And if we choose to establish others, there they will be!’”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars
“Here are the roughs and beards and space and ruggedness and nonchalance that the soul loves.”
— Walt Whitman, Preface to Leaves of Grass
