“If you fall in love with someone, there’s a good chance the person won’t love you back. Hatred, though, is usually mutual. If you despise someone, it’s pretty much a given they’re also not your biggest fan.” ― Sylvain Neuvel, Sleeping Giants
“It would make things easier for both of us, especially for you, if we could forgo the part of this conversation where you take me for a complete idiot...” ― Sylvain Neuvel, Sleeping Giants

There’s not even an attempt to rationalize things anymore.” ― Sylvain Neuvel, Only Human

“Stories are there to entertain, preserve history, or serve a societal purpose of some kind.” ― Sylvain Neuvel, Sleeping Giants
“I came to realize that good and evil were out of my reach, that time was the only thing I had any control over. I could buy time, create intervals. I could not truly make the world a better place, but I could make part of it a better place for a short while.” ― Sylvain Neuvel, Waking Gods
“I think people are scared, and dumb, and selfish on their own, but put enough of them together and they'll be half-decent” ― Sylvain Neuvel, Sleeping Giants
