Quote by Christina Engela

“I can understand backward patriarchal reasoning and opinions coming from a male, but from a woman – and of all people, from a leader of women? That says something profound about the nature of that leadership – and, if nothing else – what it says about the followers is not very flattering at all”

“Cependant, avec un peu de zèle et quelque effort, je pouvais lire Platon, résoudre des calculs trigonométriques ou suivre une analyse chimique. Mais j’étais incapable d’une chose seulement : tirer de mon être le but obscur et me le représenter, comme le faisaient les autres qui savaient avec certitude vouloir être professeur ou juge, médecin ou artiste, et pendant combien de temps, et quels avantages ils retireraient de ces professions.”

“The Exo went pale when he realized what we were dealing with. Well, what he thought we were dealing with. I never really thought he was a paragon of courage, mister ‘I’ll-be-Captain-one-of-these-days’ Beckett. He wanted to turn a blind eye as it were, and keep going. Of course we didn’t want to break the law – or tempt karma… so the Captain over-ruled him and decided to stop. It was. A trap, I mean. But nothing like we thought – not something as mundane as Corsairs. Oh, no. And it didn’t spring on us till days later, when we were light-years away.”

“Oh, no you don't. You're not heading down to that dock, young man," Babette declares as she clears my plate. "But Babette, Dr. Felix said I only had to rest yesterday!" "Yes he did, and I won't make you stay in bed today. But you're going to stay here while I go. I don't think your crutches are able to make it down the path. It's too rough. You'll end up tripping over something." I scoff. She doesn't know that I'm the guy who not only made it down to the dock, but also did it in the dark WITHOUT falling flat on his back. "But Babette—" "No buts, Rylan. You're staying here and that's final" "Fine," I grumble.”
