More quotes by 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.
Paolo Bacigalupi
When I read, I'm either reading to learn, or I'm reading to switch off.
Paolo Bacigalupi
An untrampled scorpion troubles no one.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Knowledge is always two-edged. For every benefit, there is hazard. For every good, evil.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Never beg for mercy. Accept that you have failed. Begging is for dogs and humans.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Nothing so mystical. Human beings hunger for killing, that is all. It only takes a few politicians to stoke division, or a few demagogues encouraging hatred to set your kind upon one another. And then before you know it, you have a whole nation biting on its own tail, going round and round until there is nothing left but the snapping of teeth.
Paolo Bacigalupi
A desert's a stupid place to put a river.

Paolo Bacigalupi
Life is exponential. Two becomes four, becomes ten thousand, becomes a plague.
Paolo Bacigalupi

Paolo Bacigalupi
Men are loyal when you lead from the front.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Suicide is not something I owe you or yours.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Environmental science is telling us a lot about our future and what it could look like, whether we're talking about global warming (the current poster child for the environment) or a loss of genetic diversity in our food supplies, or the effects of low-dose chemicals on human development.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Food should come from the place of its origin, and stay there. It shouldn't spend its time crisscrossing the globe for the sake of profit.
Paolo Bacigalupi
If I cared for human approval, I would have been dead long ago.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Sex and hypocrisy. They go together like coffee and cream.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Knowledge is simply a terrible ocean we must cross, and hope that wisdom lies on the other side.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Some things, it was better not to think about. It just made you mad and angry.
Paolo Bacigalupi
