Paolo Bacigalupi
We write dust epitaphs for our vanquished enemies and watch them blow away in the desert wind.
Paolo Bacigalupi

Life is exponential. Two becomes four, becomes ten thousand, becomes a plague.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Men are loyal when you lead from the front.
Paolo Bacigalupi

Paolo Bacigalupi
Politics is ugly. Never doubt what small men will do for great power.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Take three different Thai writers and ask them to extrapolate their county's future, and one hopes that you'll get three very different - but all deeply honest - versions.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Laws are a fine thing on paper, but painful when no bribery can ease their bind.
Paolo Bacigalupi
An untrampled scorpion troubles no one.
Paolo Bacigalupi
If I cared for human approval, I would have been dead long ago.
Paolo Bacigalupi
The more you read about and immerse in a culture, the more it comes alive, and the more textured and nuanced and detailed and unstereotypable it becomes.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Most of the news about the state of the environment is pretty ugly. This is frightening for me personally, but actually motivational for me artistically.
