Thoughtful Thursday: Fantastic Quotes!

It’s been nearly 5 years since we last shared some of our favorite quotes from speculative fiction, though I think at the time we were considering collecting quotes and making this a regular column.

Give us the quote and the source (book title, link to interview or blog, etc).
Here are a few quotes that readers mentioned last time we did this:

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind: Studio Ghibli at its ambitious best
