“Where's my bed?!" Dairine shrieked.
"It's on Pluto," Nita said. "On the winter side, somewhere nice and dark and quiet, where you won't find it if you look all day-which you're not going to have time to do, becaus you'll be in school.”
― Diane Duane, A Wizard Alone

“Nafasi yako peponi itapotea iwapo utamruhusu Pluto (kiongozi wa ahera) akukaribishe bazarai (makao makuu ya ahera) kwa kuchukua maisha yako mwenyewe. Kujiua ni kujipenda zaidi kuliko unaowapenda. Anayejiua hujifikiria zaidi yeye kuliko wengine.”
― Enock Maregesi

“Perfection is in the mind that makes mistakes”

“Pluto is dead.”
― Mike Brown, How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming

“There is nothing particularly special about that location of the centre of mass. If you were to find yourself at the precise spot that is the centre of mass of the earth-moon system, the only thing unusual that you would notice is that there would be one thousand miles of rock on top of your head.
Pluto is only about twice the size of Charon, so if you put Pluto and Charon on the cosmic seesaw you would find that the balance point is a little bit outside Pluto, rather than inside it. Again, there is nothing particularly special going on there. If you were to find yourself at that precise spot, you would only notice that you were very, very cold and could no longer breathe.”
― Mike Brown, How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming

“Humanity鈥檚 first faster-than-light spacecraft crashed into Pluto and vaporised a significant portion of it. Oops.

Pluto鈥檚 status as a planet had been a matter of contention since the early twenty-first century and had come close to starting the fourth world war at the beginning of the twenty-second century. Making it even smaller did absolutely nothing to help the situation, and humanity came five minutes, and one hasty phone call, from another world war.”
― L. G. Estrella

“She's a Mercury, with the full hotness of the sun beating down on her. I'm a Pluto. Sure, my friend's appreciate me, but I'm barely holding on to the far reaches of the galaxy.”
― Jay Asher, The Future of Us

“Pape Satan, Pape Satan, Aleppe!”

“Pluto is dead, I know as I observed the Terminator that was sent to kill it”

“This success permits us to hope that after thirty or forty years of observation on the new Planet [Neptune], we may employ it, in its turn, for the discovery of the one following it in its order of distances from the Sun. Thus, at least, we should unhappily soon fall among bodies invisible by reason of their immense distance, but whose orbits might yet be traced in a succession of ages, with the greatest exactness, by the theory of Secular Inequalities.

[Following the success of the confirmation of the existence of the planet Neptune, he considered the possibility of the discovery of a yet further planet.]”
― Urbain Le Verrier

“When word of the astronomers鈥� vote in Prague reached the New Horizons team, reactions ranged from indifferent (鈥淲ho cares what astronomers think? They鈥檙e not the experts in this.鈥�), to bemused, to annoyed, to seriously pissed off. As Fran Bagenal succinctly put it, 鈥淒warf people are people. Dwarf planets are planets. End of argument.”
― Alan Stern, Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto

“I am Pluto. You can break me, reject me, and hurt me but I will never stop being a human being.”
― Angelina Sedlacek

“Welcome to the American sector!
Feast your eyes on glorious Pluto, her wild frontier, her high standard of living, her rugged, hardworking citizens, her purple mountains majesty! Ride the mighty buffalo! Marvel at the bustling industry of the great cities of Jizo and Ascalaphus! Climb the peaks of Mt. Orcus and Mt. Chernobog!”
― Catherynne M. Valente, Radiance

“The Tenth Planet

There was this buoyant blue balloon
That felt a little spare.
It had been given life on Earth,
Was puffed with human air.

It bumped into a telescope
And glanced at outer space;
It thought it saw some more balloons
Each with a friendly face.

It gazed on all the planets
That lay beyond the moon:
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune.

And further out was Pluto.
A cold and distant sphere;
That had to be the target,
The lonliest by far.

So the balloon floated upwards,
Sneaked through the Earth's thick clouds;
Saw stars above get closer
And, down below, the crowds.

The Earth itself got smaller,
A mottled ball of blue;
It too was balloon-like
From a certain point of view.

Out, out into the darkness
The balloon kept to its course.
It kept away from comets
Speeding among the stars.

Mars was red and arid,
Jupiter was gas,
Saturn's rings were brilliant,
Uranus a great mass.

Neptune was a freezeup
And - furthest out of all -
Pluto, the ninth planet,
A revolving snowball.

Past Pluto was a dark spot
Where a planet ought to be
The balloon took its position
To orbit endlessly.

Back on Earth astronomers
Studied evidence of a new, 10th planet
And called it Providence.

They say they'll send a spaceprobe
To Providence quite soon;
They'll either find some sign of life
Or burst their own balloon.

“Ted rose early the next morning and took a taxi to the Museo Nazionale, cool, echoey, empty of tourists despite the fact that it was spring. He drifted among dusty busts of Hadrian and the various Caesars, experiencing a physical quickening in the presence of so much marble that verged on the erotic. He sensed the proximity of Orpheus and Eurydice before he saw it, felt its cool weight across the room but prolonged the time before he faced it, reminding himself of the events leading up to the moment it described: Orpheus and Eurydice in love and newly married; Eurydice dying of a snakebite while fleeing the advances of a shepherd; Orpheus descending to the underworld, filling its dank corridors with music from his lyre as he sang of his longing for his wife; Pluto granting Eurydice's release from death on the sole condition that Orpheus not look back at her during their ascent. And then the hapless instant when, out of fear for his bride as she stumbled in the passage, Orpheus forgot himself and turned.
Ted stepped toward the relief. He felt as if he's walked inside it, so completely did it enclose and affect him. It was the moment before Eurydice must descend to the underworld a second time, when she and Orpheus are saying goodbye. What moved Ted, mashed some delicate glassware in his chest, was the quiet of their interaction, the absence of drama or tears as they gazed at each other, touching gently. He sensed between them an understanding too deep to articulate: the unspeakable knowledge that everything is lost. (p. 211)”

“...Pluto is also tidally locked to Charon, so it always presents the same face to its moon too. It is like the two are staring at each other, never breaking their gaze, as they waltz around the solar system (creepy).”
― Maggie Aderin-Pocock, The Book of the Moon: A Guide to Our Closest Neighbor

“A truth can exist for decades and in a moment vanish. Just ask Pluto.”
― R.J. Intindola

“The celestial orphan Pluto roams unloved and helpless. Unable to contemplate its fate, it searches for a black hole to put an end to the misery.”
― Rajesh`

“Damian was like Pluto: too distant to see in detail, a speck of light on the outer reaches of our galaxy, always moving. A planet of extremes, its light as hard to penetrate as its darkness. Rock and ice 鈥� tough stuff Pluto's made of. It helped to think of Damian that way, a match for any city street. It helped me survive the winter without him.”
― Germaine Shames, from her stage play YEAR of THIRTEEN MOONS
