Alien Quotes
Words on what feels foreign, and what never really is.
Rather than science fiction alone, this set uses "alien" mostly as a way to talk about human nature: a science-fiction warning about how easily division could be exploited by an outside force, a note that intolerance has no place in a particular faith tradition, and an old philosophical claim that nothing human should feel foreign to us.
