“It reminded me that when we know about suffering, when we are proximal to it, we are capable of extraordinary generosity. We can do and be so much for each other -- but only when we see one another in our full humanity, not as statistics or problems, but as people who deserve to be alive in the world.”

“You are determined to assume an antagonism between machines and men. You don't understand them. It's your persistent mishandling of them that makes you afraid of them. Why should there be an antagonism? There was a time when we could not exist without them nor they without us, and now, thought that no longer holds, the collaboration continues. Doubtless if they wished they could make an end of us today, but why should they? We are doomed inevitably; they will go on.”

“Sugar and Order I got one yellow, and one brown— though I think the brown was meant to be purple. Seven green. Three red. Four orange. I line them up, neat and bright— a little world of sugar and order. I’ll start with the yellow, and the brown-purple too. They don’t really fit the pattern, you know? Just cleaning up the set. Four greens next, and one orange— just enough to balance the rest. Now I’ve got threes. Three greens. Three reds. Three oranges. Perfect. Even. Neat. No yellow. No brown. The colors look good together now. Don’t you think? It’s easier on the eyes. Simpler. Cleaner. Just organizing. Just tidying up the mess. But the bowl feels lighter, somehow smaller, and the sweetness tastes a little—off. I only wanted balance, but somehow everything’s the same color now. And it doesn’t taste like candy anymore.”
