“Mosscap touched their metal torso, smiling with pride. ‘I am made of metal and numbers; you are made of water and genes. But we are each something more than that. And we can’t define what that something more is simply by our raw components.”
Becky Chambers, A Psalm For The Wild-Built (Page 75)
“‘Robots are not people. We’re machines, and machines are objects. Objects are its.’ ‘I’d say you’re more than just an object,’ Dex said. The robot looked a touch offended. ‘I would never call you just an animal, Sibling Dex.’ It turned its gaze to the road, head held high. ‘We don’t have to fall into the same category to be of equal value.'”
Becky Chambers, A Psalm For The Wild-Built (Page 69)
“’Be yourself’ Really? Which self? The self you were when you were two years old, almost out of diapers? The self you were when you were screaming with the fans at the big game? The self you were after a long night? How about this: Become the self you’d be proud to be. Hang out with people and ideas that help you become that self. Act like that self every chance you get.”
Seth Godin
