"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

"But we don't run on facts. We run on stories about things. About people."
Story
"A few generations living and dying without a sky, and enclosed spaces lost the atavistic terror of premature burial."
Adaptation
"And somehow, that changed everything about sex. The movements might all be the same, but the desire to communicate affection rather than demonstrate prowess changed what everything meant."
Affection
"God save us all from good-looking men."
Humor
"Your fancy alien train is broken?''My fancy alien material transfer system has been sitting unused for over a billion years and half the planet just exploded. Your ship was built less than a decade ago and you can barely keep the coffee pot running.'You are a sad, bitter little man."
Humor
"Because we can't just blow up enough things that this becomes a good situation."
Conflict
"Given their current circumstances, things would have to be very bad indeed for Tilly to think the situation had gotten worse.

"They loved scenes of righteous Godly vengeance on sinful mankind. They loved to show God's chosen people safe from harm, watching with happy faces as they were proved right to the world. But they never showed the aftermath. They never showed weeping humans, crushed and dying in pools of their own fluids. Young men smashed into piles of red flesh. A young woman cut in half because she was passing through a hatchway when catastrophe hit. This was Armageddon. This is what it looked like. Blood and torn flesh and cries for help."
War
"Nothing lasted forever. Not peace. Not war. Nothing."
Change
"She'd been attacked. Just after she came to the Belt. She was seeing that it didn't happen twice.''Attacked,' Miller said, parsing the man's tone of voice. 'Raped?''I didn't ask."
