“Consider all the inanimate matter in the universe, all the dumb atoms, all the mindless molecules, all the oblivious dust grains and pebbles and rocks and iceballs and worlds and stars, all the unthinking galaxies and superclusters, wheeling through the oblivious time-haunted megaparsecs of the cosmic supervoid. In all that immensity, she had somehow contrived to BE a human being, a microscopically tiny, cosmically insignificant bundle of information-processing systems, wired to a mind more structurally complex than the Milky Way itself, maybe even more complex than the rest of the *whole damned universe*!”

“This was the scientific age, and people wanted to believe that their traditions were in line with the new era, but this was impossible if you thought that these myths should be understood literally. Hence the furor occasioned by The Origin of Species, published by Charles Darwin. The book was not intended as an attack on religion, but was a sober exploration of a scientific hypothesis. But because by this time people were reading the cosmogonies of Genesis as though they were factual, many Christians felt--and still feel--that the whole edifice of faith was in jeopardy. Creation stories had never been regarded as historically accurate; their purpose was therapeutic. But once you start reading Genesis as scientifically valid, you have bad science and bad religion.”

“Five Truths About Your Inner Voice: 1. It is here, always available, wherever you are, however you feel, whatever you have done. 2. It is solely on your side. 3. It knows what's absolutely right for you. 4. It is your friend, your ally, your guide, your ultimate supporter. 5. It is always with you and for you. Whenever you're feeling perplexed, uneasy, anxious, mad, frustrated, sick, or any other other way you don't want to feel, ask your Inner Voice. Listen.”

“Humean montañas de basura a ambos lados de la carretera. Seres andrajosos suben y bajan por ellas. Un adolescente, recostado sobre una pila de cartones y trapos, lee. Ha encontrado un libro y lo lee con dificultad, pero hechizado. Para él ha desaparecido el basural, sus manos heladas y sucias pasan las hojas del libro. El adolescente ha terminado de leer su libro. Se encienden estrellas sobre la basura. Es la primera vez que lee un libro desde el comienzo hasta el final. Es la primera vez que descubre que alguien que no lo conoce y a quien nunca vio, sabe exactamente lo que le pasa y lo que piensa. Aprieta el libro. Llora. O casi. Acaba de comprender que no está solo en el universo. Hay alguien que lo entiende y se lo ha contado por medio de un libro. Vuelve a la primera página, a la primera frase. Se repite a sí mismo el nombre del autor. Es un escritor de otro país, de Alemania”
