Alabaster - The Ten Ring Orogene The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
"Why do you hate me?. I think you hate me because… I’m someone you can hate. I’m here, I’m handy. But what you really hate is the world. [...] You hate the way we live. The way the world makes us live. Either the Fulcrum owns us, or we have to hide and be hunted down like dogs if we’re ever discovered. Or we become monsters and try to kill everything. Even within the Fulcrum we always have to think about how *they* want us to act. We can never just… be."
“Tell them they can be great someday, like us. Tell them they belong among us, no matter how we treat them. Tell them they must earn the respect which everyone else receives by default. Them them there is a standard for acceptance; that standard is simply perfection. Kill those who scoff at those contradictions, and tell the rest that the dead deserved annihilation for their weakness and doubt. Then they'll break themselves trying for what they'll never achieve” ― N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season
