"I believe those who have more joy win. We have enjoy and justice on our sides." #SALKimmerer


"Gift economies cannot flourish if cheaters break the rules." #SALKimmerer


"A gift economy nourishes community and does not cherish I, but we. Abundance is shared not accumulated." #SALKimmerer


"I assume if we think of receiving gifts from our Mother Earth, then we'd treat her better than we have been." #SALKimmerer


"Your breath is their life; their breath is your life. We are all connected; we are all relatives." #SALKimmerer


"Where do we exactly draw the boundary between self interest and the natural world?" #SALKimmerer

“I didn’t feel like I wanted to be where I was sometimes growing up, and so escaping into these worlds [like the Lord of the Rings] was a place where I could go and feel like I was meant to be.” #SALMcQuiston


“Sometimes [character backstory] is the demands of setting, sometimes it’s the demands of plot, but I always want to feel like their life goes on beyond the page.” #SALMcQuiston


“I’m toying with the idea of going into a romantasy era.” #SALMcQuiston


"I’m not allowed to say much [about my next book] at this juncture…but I can say that I’ve recently gone to Bath in England and Saint-Jean-de-Luz in France…do with that what you will." #SALMcQuiston


“I do think Tauruses are the backbone of our society.” #SALMcQuiston


“I found myself thinking: What would I have to write to write a book that would be unequivocally described as bi when people wrote about it?” #SALMcQuiston
