“Ladies and gentleman," he said over the speakers, "welcome aboard this recently liberated Gulfstream V.

There are seatbelts, which won't do you an awful lot of good if we fly into the side of a mountain.”

“In our hearts... there must abide some pity for those people who have always felt themselves to be separate from even their most familiar surroundings, those people who either are foreigners or who suffer a singular point of view that makes them feel as if they’re foreigners - even in their native lands. In our hearts... there also abides a certain suspicion that such people need to feel set apart from their society. But people who initiate loneliness are no less lonely than those who are suddenly surprised by loneliness, nor are they undeserving of our pity.”
