Frases de Octavia E. Butler
página 4

Octavia Estelle Butler , mais conhecida por Octavia Butler, foi uma escritora afro-americana consagrada por seus livros de ficção científica feminista e por inserir a questão do preconceito e do racismo em suas histórias.

Octavia Butler decidiu tornar-se escritora aos doze anos ao assistir o filme Devil Girl from Mars e convencendo-se de que poderia escrever uma história melhor. Depois de vender algumas histórias para antologias, adquiriu notoriedade a partir dos anos 1980, ganhando os prêmios Nebula e Hugo. Mas foi a publicação dos livros Parable of the Sower e Parable of the Talents que solidificou sua fama como escritora. Em 2005, ela foi admitida no Hall Internacional da Fama de Escritores Negros.

Após sua morte, em 2006, uma bolsa de estudos que leva seu nome foi criada para incentivar estudantes negros inscritos nas oficinas de escrita onde Butler foi aluna e, mais tarde, professora. Wikipedia

Part IV “The Training Floor” chapter 9 (p. 242)
Dawn (1987)

“We can see that our Councils aren’t games like the tribunals humans have. The work of a Council of Judgment is to learn the truth and then decide what to do about it within our law. It isn’t about following laws so strictly that the guilty go unpunished or the innocent are made to suffer. It isn’t about protecting everyone’s rights. It’s about finding the truth, period, and then deciding what to do about it.”
