Cixin Liu

In the face of madness, rationality was powerless.

Weakness and chaos are the universe’s norm.

No one could imagine the true face of the universe.

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

The universe is a dark forest.

Every civilization is an angry hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost.

The entire universe is filled with the sound of footsteps.

You’re bugs. You can’t even imagine the way we look at you.

Civilizations have to advance by themselves. Interference will only bring disaster.

I choose to betray humanity.

The greatest era of science has arrived.

If I destroy you, what business is it of yours?
