N K Jemisin Quotes

Reconciliation is a part of the healing process, but how can there be healing when the wounds are still being inflicted? Picture Quote #1

Inevitable is not the same as immediate, Sieh--and love does not mandate forgiveness Picture Quote #1

With epic fantasy, there is a tendency for it to be quintessentially conservative in that its job is to restore what is perceived to be out of whack Picture Quote #1

In the ‘Dreamblood’ books, I’m focusing more on what I like about epic fantasy: the layering and depth of tension; the chance to really delve into the minutia of an alternate society and its politics; a large cast of characters to love and hate Picture Quote #1

It’s the way the human brain works: when enough events occur in a pattern, we stop thinking and go into macro mode Picture Quote #1

There is no greater warrior than a mother protecting her child Picture Quote #1

But perhaps that was just the way of power: no such thing as too much Picture Quote #1

Myths tell us what those like us have done, can do, should do. Without myths to lead the way, we hesitate to leap forward. Listen to the wrong myths, and we might even go back a few steps Picture Quote #1

There is no logic to grief Picture Quote #1

It is blasphemy to separate oneself from the Earth and look down on it like a God. It is more than blasphemy, it is dangerous. We can never be gods, after all - but we can become something less than human with frightening ease Picture Quote #1

If the gods do decide to wipe us out, is it such a bad thing? Maybe we've earned a little annihilation Picture Quote #1

I will not beg your forgiveness, she said. Only her voice betrayed her fear; it was not it's usual strong, clear tone. I did what I felt was right. Of course you did, I said. It was the wise thing to do Picture Quote #1

Only learning oneself better, and understanding one's place in the world, made the touch of another mundane Picture Quote #1

I am not as I once was. They have done this to me, broken me open and torn out my heart. I do not know who I am anymore. I must try to remember Picture Quote #1

And when I lift my head to scream out my fury, a million stars turn black and die. No one can see them, but they are my tears Picture Quote #1

We all have futures. We all have pasts. We all have stories. And we all, every single one of us, no matter who we are and no matter what's been taken from us - we all dream Picture Quote #1

We worship Him not because He is the best of our gods, but because He is, or was, the greatest killer among them Picture Quote #1

Immortality gets very, very boring. You'd be surprised at how interesting the small mundanities of life can seem after a few millennia Picture Quote #1

And in that sliver of time, I felt the power around me coalesce, malice - hard and sharp as crystal. That this analogy occurred to me should have been a warning Picture Quote #1

The Nightlord cannot be controlled, child. He can only be unleashed. And you asked him not to kill Picture Quote #1

Because I think I saw you, yesterday morning when I woke up. I think my eyes worked again, just for a moment, and you were the light I saw Picture Quote #1
