“At the end of the day, I lose nothing. I'd go as far as to say that it's you who'll be losing something. You'll be losing the first person who's understood you. Things will just go back to how they were for you. Back to how they were in Agano, when everybody ignored you." The grapeskins ruptured. Rika could see it happening. Just a little further, Rika thought. Her armpits grew sweaty. She had to appeal to her senses, gradually draw Kajii into her rhythm. It wouldn't do to rush. "Visiting Agano, I started for the first time to feel genuinely sorry for you. Maybe if you'd had someone like Reiko in your life--- it wouldn't have mattered if they were a man or a woman, just someone you could talk to about what was on your mind--- then things wouldn't have worked out this way. Maybe then you wouldn't have needed to be so impossibly self-contained, to do everything on your own. If I'd taken a wrong turn somewhere, I could have easily ended up like you.”

“«Il peggio arrivò verso la fine. Moltissime persone morirono proprio alla fine, e io non sapevo se avrei resistito un altro giorno. Un contadino, un russo, Dio lo benedica, vide in che stato ero, entrò in casa e ne uscì con un pezzo di carne per me.» «Ti salvò la vita.» «Non lo mangiai.» «Non lo mangiasti?» «Era maiale. Non ero disposta a mangiare maiale.» «Perché?» «Che vuol dire perché?» «Come? Perché non era kosher?» «Certo.» «Ma neppure per salvarti la vita?» «Se niente importa, non c'è niente da salvare.»”

“La biodiversità era stata rimpiazziata dall'uniformità genetica, nelle università i dipartimenti di scienze animali erano diventati dipartimenti di scienze zootecniche, un'attività economica un tempo dominata dalle donne era ormai passata in mano ai maschi, e pollicoltori esperti erano stati rimpiazzati da dipendenti stipendiati. Non ci fu un colpo di pistola a segnare l'inizio della corsa verso il basso. Il terreno si inclinò e tutti scivolarono giù.”
