Joan Slonczewski quotes:

If every planet in the Patriarchy refused to be ruled, we all would be free.

Death hastens those who hasten death.

Death can be hastened but never shared.

Few fears are rational.

You are as responsible for what you let happen as for the actions you share.

There was no time for bitterness now: eat bitterness, and bitterness eats you.

Usha had said that males were not all that different, just bigger outside to make up for what they lacked within.

Of all the well-meant emotions pity is the cruelest to share.

A life postponed too long might never be lived.

They gave me eyes. All of you are beautiful; you shine like stars. But I must go away with them.
