“Seguiu pelo ermo areial até aos negros penhascos, e parou, debruçando-se no precipicio, onde as alterosas e phosphorescentes vagas se debatiam convulsas, partindo-se em niveos jorros, golfando a resaca em furia jactos de espuma na areia com um sussurro formidavel. O oceano e o vento pareciam unir-se, gemendo n'um lamento inconsolavel - o lamento de tudo que soffre na terra sem poder queixar-se. (pp. 204-205)”

“Even though the advocates of feminism gladly use the term to refer to equality between man and woman, the common human brain is not capable of perceiving such equality beyond the gender bias of the very word.

“If existence really does precede essence, there is no explaining things away by reference to a fixed and given human nature, In other words, there is no determinism, man is free, man is freedom. On the other hand, if God does not exist, we find no values or commands to turn to which legitimize our conduct. So, in the bright realm of values, we have no excuses behind us, no justification before us. We are alone with no excuses. This is the idea I shall try to convey when I say that man is condemned to be free. Condemned, because he did not create himself, yet in other respects is free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”

“Someday they would discover that the stars were not sacred, but made from the same material as their bodies. They would learn it was the stars that created their worlds, that worlds created their minds, that minds created tools, and tools could create stars. Growing, sprawling, thriving until they too became masters of their own understanding, chasing enlightenment with the fervor of having nothing to lose, launching from their homelands like fireworks with glorious yellow tails.”
