“In which neighborhood?" I asked. "The neighborhood of Mapstack-the Met's internal version of the Interpol's big data exchange system. It's usually worth a look, just for laughs. These people have no idea how the world works-how the little details connect up. They try to draw links between crimes, but they only work in straight lines so they miss it. They miss everything but fucking methodology. Like the real criminals-I mean, the ones who are so big you never even see them-can't vary their repertoire.”

“Psikolojik olarak, genç kızlar ve delikanlılar, kendilerinin av olduklarının gerçeğini sanki görmek istemezler. Kimi zaman, tüm insanlar tamamen uyanık doğsaydı hayatın çok daha kolay ve çok daha az acı verici olacağı düşünülse de, herkes aynı düzeyde uyanık değildir. Hepimiz anlagen, bir hücrenin ortasındaki potansiyel gibi doğarız: Biyolojide anlage, hücrenin "oluşacak olan" diye nitelenen bir parçasıdır. Zamanla gelişip bizi tamamlanmış biri haline getiren ilksel madde, işte bu anlage'nin içindedir.”

“Erginlenmenin bu evresindeki kadın, psişesinin, onu kendisinden istenilen her şeye boyun eğmeye zorlayan küçük taleplerinden tedirgin olur. Uyum göstermek, tüm kadınlar tarafından akılda tutulması gereken sarsıcı bir kavrayışa yol açar. O da şudur: Kendimiz olmamız, diğer pek çok kişi tarafından dışlanmamıza neden olur, buna karşılık başkalarının istediklerine boyun eğmemiz de kendi kendimizden sürgün edilmemize yol açar. Bu, azap verici bir gerilimdir ve katlanmak gerekir, ama bizi bekleyen seçim çok açıktır.”

“We constantly struggle with right and wrong. We wage war between the person we are and the person we hope to be. We have a lot of practice wrestling with ourselves. As a result, compared to magical creatures, we humans are much more able to suppress our natural inclinations in order to deliberately choose our identities.”

“Most people hate psychological conflict. For this reason they avoid doing any serious thinking about difficult social issues, and they like to have such issues presented to them in simple, black-and-white terms: this is all good and that is all bad.”
