“The machines will paint better pictures, write better reports, solve harder problems. Let them. Our work lies elsewhere: in choosing what to cherish, whom to become, and which impossible things to attempt—because attempting them is part of what we're here to do.”

A damsel who had offered them a perfectly good reason to get lost for a few weeks. But humans never stood up for the right thing.

Surely he'd feel awful about this tomorrow when he was spending his blood money, before running of with his partner to the next kill. And they called her monstrous.”
