Quote by Jeanette Winterson

“Sometimes it doesn't matter that there was any time before this time. Sometimes it doesn't matter that it's night or day or now or then. Sometimes where you are is enough. It's not that time stops or that it hasn't started. This is time. You are here. This caught moment opening into a lifetime.”

“What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my own kind? Was it because it was exclusive and capricious? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge?...Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire? I didn't know why I had yearned after it so desperately. All I knew was that, now that I had it, it was worth every ounce of risk and agony it had cost. It was better than I imagined. It was everything.”

“Irani itakapoipiga Israeli, kama ambavyo imeshaahidi, Israeli itajibu mapigo. Kwa vile Israeli ina nguvu zaidi kuliko Irani, itaipiga Irani kwa silaha za kawaida. Itaipiga hata kwa silaha za kinyukilia pia. Kutunisha misuli, Irani itaomba msaada wa kijeshi kutoka katika nchi za Kiarabu; ambazo zitakubali kuingilia kati na kuisaidia Irani. Kwa silaha za kawaida, bado nchi zote za Kiarabu zitakazokubali kuisaidia Irani hazitakuwa na uwezo wa kuishinda Israeli. Kuishinda itabidi zitumie silaha za kinyukilia. Silaha za kinyukilia zitakapoanza kutumika, Marekani itaingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli. Marekani itakapoingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli, Urusi itaingilia kati kuisaidia Irani. Ufaransa, Uingereza na Ujerumani zitaingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli; huku China ikiingilia kati kuisaidia Irani. Hapo Vita Kuu ya Tatu ya Dunia itaanzishwa rasmi. Katika vita hiyo ya kinyukilia na mbaya kuliko vita zote zilizowahi kupiganwa, Israeli itashinda vita na itaanzisha utawala wa Mpinga Kristo duniani kote. Kutakuwa na dini moja. Kutakuwa na serikali moja. Kutakuwa na sarafu moja. Watu watapungua hadi kufikia milioni 500, kama ilivyokuwa mwaka 1650, asilimia 7 ya idadi ya watu wote ya leo.”
