Quotes

edit

"I began writing about power because I had so little."

Octavia E. Butler, in Carolyn S. Davidson's "The Science Fiction of Octavia Butler."

"I write about people who do extraordinary things. It just turned out that it was called science fiction."

Octavia E. Butler, Bloodchild and Other Stories.

"Who am I? I am a forty-seven-year-old writer who can remember being a ten-year-old writer and who expects someday to be an eighty-year-old writer. I am also comfortably asocial—a hermit.... A pessimist if I'm not careful, a feminist, a Black, a former Baptist, an oil-and-water combination of ambition, laziness, insecurity, certainty, and drive."

Octavia E. Butler, reading the self-penned description of herself included in Parable of the Sower during a 1994 interview with Jelani Cobb.

"Writing is difficult. You do it all alone without encouragement and without any certainty that you'll ever be published or paid or even that you'll be able to finish the particular work you've begun. It isn't easy to persist amid all that."

Octavia E. Butler, Bloodchild and Other Stories.

Embrace diversity
Unite--
or be divided,
robbed,
ruled,
killed
By those who see you as prey.
Embrace diversity
Or be destroyed.

From "Earthseed: The Books of the Living," Parable of the Sower.

To survive,
Know the past.
Let it touch you.
Then let
The past
Go.

From "Earthseed: The Books of the Living," Parable of the Talents.
