Quotes by Joan D. Vinge (?)

“But what force in the galaxy is stronger than she is?"

"Indifference." Jerusha surprised herself with the answer. "Indifference, Gundhalinu, is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it. It lets neglect and decay and monstrous injustice go unchecked. It doesn't act, it allows. And that's what gives it so much power.”
― Joan D. Vinge, The Snow Queen

tags: indifference

“Real power is control. Knowing that you can do anything...and not doing it only because you can.”
― Joan D. Vinge, The Snow Queen
