Quote by John Halstead

“I sing to you of many more gods, gods of wind and water, gods of each mineral and the events that created them. I sing to you of the gods of protons, of quarks, of atomic forces binding and holding. I sing to you of the god of the dust that flies off the ice-burned comet, and the god of the spaces in between. I sing to you of the god that twists like a serpent at the center of every sun and is found again coiled within every electron, shared by both and worshiped by each in its own way. I sing to you of the god that collects asteroids together in mockeries of his sister’s solar systems, jealous of his elder sibling’s power. I sing to you of all these, and many, many more." - Lupa, "The Forgotten Gods of Nature”

“I sing to you of the deities of the Dictyostelidal slime molds, sexless and strange, at once a thousand voices and one song united. I sing to you of hard times when the wood has rotted away and the sun bakes the earth, and while as individuals we die, together we thrive. The divinities ask for sacrifice, the thousand voices demand it. Those who die to give life to the others, who raise up the new generation so that they may spread far and wide—these become a part of that sacred host, their voices immortalized not in cells but in spirit." - Lupa, "The Forgotten Gods of Nature”

“„Grickala je gornju usnu lagano iskrivljenim zubima, a ja je se nisam mogao nagledati. Nije odgovarala muškoj predodžbi djevojke s plakata-pothranjena kakva je bila, izgledala je kao da je provela cijeli tjedan spavajući u šumi – ali želio am je vidjeti golu, želio sam raskopčati kariranu košulju, baciti je nekamo i polizati njezin blijedi trbuh, svući je iz dugih gaća i ljubiti njena bedra.”
