“Here's the thing: the act of reading changes your life, sometimes in large ways, sometimes in small ways, but every book you read asks you to move outside of yourself and your own experience to consider the lives of others. So I can't identify a particular book that altered my life, but I do know that the act of reading has pushed me to engage more deeply with the world (real and imagined), and I'm grateful for that.”
― Ethan Rutherford

“Time means nothing to you, you are... too young. But any pain you feel will leave you, and it will be replaced by something else, and I hope you will allow the following words to be of comfort.”
― Ethan Rutherford, North Sun, or The Voyage of the Whaleship Esther
