“Take 'Ex Machina.' Everyone said it was one of the great feminist work...” — Marjorie Liu Quote

“Take 'Ex Machina.' Everyone said it was one of the great feminist works of science fiction. But what I found disappointing is that everything about the main female character is defined by men.”

“Comics writing is for your artist. It's not for the general reader; it's for the artist. So I love writing scripts for artists.”

“Male heroes are entitled to particular privileges, and why not the women as well?”

“We like to imagine that women would do a better job of ruling the world - and I'm one of those optimists - but women aren't a superior kind of life form just because of our gender. We're awesome but not perfect. We're human. Just like men.”

“I wanted to be her; I wanted to write her. Red Sonja became anchored in my imagination like a mountain.”

“I love writing comics too much.”

“Science is a way of sight, and nobody walks it better than the undoctrinated.”

“He pointed to another number, changing as rapidly as the first, but on a lower trajectory; it rose to a high of 8.79 rem per hour. Several lifetimes of dentists’ X-rays, to be sure; but the radiation outside the storm shelter would have been a lethal dose, so they were getting off lightly. Still, the amount flying through the rest of the ship! Billions of particles were penetrating the ship and colliding with the atoms of water and metal they were huddled behind; hundreds of millions were flying between these atoms and then through the atoms of their bodies, touching nothing, as if they were no more than ghosts. Still, thousands were striking atoms of flesh and bone. Most of those collisions were harmless; but in all those thousands, there were in all probability one or two (or three?) in which a chromosome strand was taking a hit, and kinking in the wrong way: and there it was. Tumor initiation, begun with just that typo in the book of the self. And years later, unless the victim's DNA luckily repaired itself, the tumor promotion that was a more or less unavoidable part of living would have its effect, and there would appear a bloom of Something Else inside: cancer. Leukemia, most likely; and, most likely, death.”

“Good science fiction is always based in contemporary truths.”

“It used to be said that the sea was a ruthlessly hostile environment which you only ventured at your peril.”
