• Life is insanely robust, though we can make species go extinct, and this is the bad thing. So I always make the point that you can't say, 'Is it too late?' That is the terrible question, because either answer promotes inaction. If it's too late, you don't need to act; if it's not too late, you don't need to act.

  Kim Stanley

  Needs, Too Late, Answers

• Humans were still not only the cheapest robots around, but also, for many tasks, the only robots that could do the job. They were self-reproducing robots too. They showed up and worked generation after generation; give them 3000 calories a day and a few amenities, a little time off, and a strong jolt of fear, and you could work them at almost anything. Give them some ameliorative drugs and you had a working class, reified and coglike.

• Nos convierte en un hilo de un tapiz que se ha desenrollado durante siglos antes que nosotros, y se desenrollará durante siglos después de nosotros. Estamos a mitad de camino en el telar, ese es el presente, y lo que hacemos lanza el hilo en una dirección determinada, y la imagen del tapiz cambia en consecuencia. Cuando empezamos a intentar hacer un cuadro agradable para nosotros y para los que vienen después, entonces quizá se pueda decir que nos hemos apoderado de la historia.

  Kim Stanley

• The only part of an argument that really matters is what we think of the people arguing. X claims a, Y claims b. They make arguments to support their claims with any number of points. But when their listeners remember the discussion, what matters is simply that X believes a and Y believes b. People then form their judgment on what they think of X and Y.

• Sin un observador situado en un ángulo de veintitrés grados con respecto a la luz que se refleja en una nube de gotas esféricas, no hay arco iris. El universo entero es así. Nuestros espíritus forman un ángulo de veintitrés grados con el universo. Hay algo nuevo que se crea al contacto del fotón y la retina, un espacio que se crea entre la roca y la mente.

• Todos lo diremos. Todos seguiremos y haremos que el lugar sea seguro. Carreteras, ciudades. Cielo nuevo, suelo nuevo. Hasta que todo sea una especie de Siberia o Territorios del Noroeste, y Marte habrá desaparecido y nosotros estaremos aquí, y nos preguntaremos por qué nos sentimos tan vacíos. Por qué cuando miramos la tierra nunca podemos ver nada más que nuestras propias caras.
