“I knew interpreting the emotional subtext in the speech and apperance of real humans was completely different from interpreting it in shows and serials. (For one thing, the shows and serials were trying to communicate with the viewer. As far as I could tell, real humans usually didn't know what the hell they were doing.)”
― Martha Wells, Exit Strategy

“All human power is a compound of time and patience. Powerful beings will and wait.”
― Balzac Honore De, Eugenie Grandet

“The station approach traffic was heavy, and we were showing a twenty-seven-minute docking delay. Twenty-seven minutes was more than enough time for me to do something stupid.”
― Martha Wells, Exit Strategy

“My dears, as long as a man is a minister, adore him; when he falls, help drag him in the gutter.”
― Balzac Honore De, Eugénie Grandet
