Octavia E. Butler cytaty

„Nieważne, że nie mają rąk i jeden Bóg raczy wiedzieć, jak udaje im się cokolwiek podpisać.”

Octavia E. Butler

Amnestia

„Wspólnoty pozbawione były widocznych oczu, ale za to bardzo dobrze działały u nich organizmy odpowiedzialne za wzrok, więc w zasadzie oczy do niczego nie były im potrzebne. Jej pracodawca tak skupił się w sobie, że obecnie wyglądem bardziej przypominał kamień z kolcami niż krzew. Wspólnoty tak właśnie się zachowywały, gdy chciały zagwarantować innym odrobinę prywatności, bądź też, gdy po prostu chciały się odseparować od przeprowadzanych w pobliżu interesów.”

Octavia E. Butler książka Dawn

Part IV “The Training Floor” chapter 9 (p. 242)
Dawn (1987)

“We can see that our Councils aren’t games like the tribunals humans have. The work of a Council of Judgment is to learn the truth and then decide what to do about it within our law. It isn’t about following laws so strictly that the guilty go unpunished or the innocent are made to suffer. It isn’t about protecting everyone’s rights. It’s about finding the truth, period, and then deciding what to do about it.”
