“Will we fall into the abyss, or will we become Supermen and Superwomen, and finally Gods? The future of our souls is about to be decided. We can place ourselves on a divine trajectory, or sink back into the slime, defeated by our inability to overcome our feelings and our addictive stories. The choice, ladies and gentlemen, is yours. These are the highest possible stakes. The moment of decision has come. Enlightenment – or the slime.”

“Aye, I can.” He pressed his hand against her belly above her womb. “I love you, Bethie Stewart. Any child you conceive of me will be born of that love. You’ll be a light to our children, as you are a light to Belle—as you are a light to me.” She looked into his eyes, saw the full force of his feelings revealed there, felt as if her heart were singing. He loved her . Oh, how she had longed to hear those precious words! And yet . . . “I dinnae know if our love will be enough.” “It will be more than enough.” Then he covered her mouth with his, and she forgot everything but him.”

The establishment of a system of society based upon the common ownership and democratic control of the means and instruments for producing and distributing wealth by and in the interests of the whole community'......was precise and legalistic. Correctness of definition and theory was all-important: in the minds of the men of new party, the failures of the existing organisations were simply the fruits of false theories. For the same reason, the Object did not mention the means of exchange. It was held that socialism, with free access to everything, there would be no exchange of goods; hence, to talk of the common ownership of the means of exchange was to show misunderstanding from the start.”
