The Universe Is Calling
“There would have been a time, long ago, when Bernice would have asked him if he was joking, or assumed that he meant ‘put to sleep’ in a literal sense. A time when she would have made enquiries about stasis capsules or jokes about spinning wheels. Since then, he knew, she had lost most of her illusions about him.”

— Ben Aaronovitch, The Also People

“There are other monsters, other terrible things out there…? Well, they must be fought. Because, and this is important, you can’t just be alone. That’s a childish thing to be. You can’t just isolate yourself from everything, no matter what terrible things have happened. You have to help other people.”
