Quotes by Catherine Asaro  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“the more you rely on what you need, the more you become that which you rely on.”
Catherine Asaro, The Night Bird

“Ah hell”
Catherine Asaro, The Charmed Sphere

“There are cultures on Earth that are more alien than some of the aliens in SF.

More extensive quote: "the theme of immersion into different cultures comes naturally to science fiction, since a major theme of the genre is how humans interact with 'alien' cultures. Yet many of the so-called alien cultures of science fiction, particularly in its younger days, felt myopic, more like Western cultures even than other cultures on our own planet.”

Jess Lake Hi Catherine! I absolutely love your Lost Continent series. I have read all of them about eight times. Are you planning to write any more for that series? I keep hoping!

Firefly is one of my favorite SF shows! I enjoy Castle, too. One of my favorite episodes is when Nathan Fillion dressed up as the Firefly captain for a Halloween party :-D.

Yes, I'm an artist. Mostly I draw for my own enjoyment. Scifi art is one of my favorite doodle topics.
