“Halten wir einen mittelalterlichen Geistlichen kurz nach der Völkerwanderung oder auch tausend Jahre später dagegen, der das äußerste an Bildung verinnerlicht hat, was damals zu haben war: Der kann Latein, der kann irgendeine Volkssprache, er kann ein bisschen Lesen und Schreiben und das schön verzieren. Was konnte er sonst noch? Am Mittwoch Bier trinken und am Samstag ein bischen länger beten. Das war schon alles an Hirnstress, was die gebildetsten Leute vor sechshundert Jahren zu leisten hatten.”

“Not mentally. But I haven't the courage of my views, as I said before. I didn't marry him altogether because of the scandal. But sometimes a woman's LOVE OF BEING LOVED gets the better of her conscience, and though she is agonized at the thought of treating a man cruelly, she encourages him to love her while she doesn't love him at all. Then, when she sees him suffering, her remorse sets in, and she does what she can to repair the wrong.”

“See? If you would have gotten a dog like I told you to, you'd be one of the cool kids around here." "And I told I work too much to have a dog. If you want a dog, you get a dog." "I did suggest that at one point, but you said no." "As I recall, your plan was to get a dog and keep it at my house. That would still be me getting a dog except in that scenario you would get to pick the dog. For some strange reason, that seems lose/lose to me." "Well, obviously I'd come over whenever it needed to go out." "How is that going to work? The club is almost an hour's drive from my house even at the best of times." He sighed, leading the way into the great room. "You'd need to let me live in your pool house, of course." "I don't have a pool house, or even a pool, dipshit." He followed her inside, enjoying this conversation far too much to leave now. "Obviously, the first part of the plan would be for you to get a pool installed, and then build a pool house for me to live in." She frowned at him and punched him in the chest. "Your imaginary dog is already costing me an imaginary fortune." "The upside is that imaginary dogs aren't big eaters. You're already saving a fortune on dog food.”

“Of course he should be punished for doing so! I daresay he has not enough employment. One must remember that he has been used to work and should be made to do so now. It is not at all good for anyone to be perfectly idle.’ ‘Very true, ma’am,’ agreed Mr Beaumaris meekly. Miss Tallant was not deceived. She looked sharply up at him, and bit her lip, saying after a moment: ‘We are speaking of Jemmy!’ ‘I hoped we were,’ confessed Mr Beaumaris.”

“With bicameralism, people accepted the reality of all that they experienced, and most people accepted at face value the claims of other people. People were not incredibly suspicious and immediately distrustful of others as they are now. Nietzsche believed that superstitions and religious mythologies originated in the total credulity of ancient humanity towards hallucinations. For ancient humans, they weren’t hallucinations. And if they weren’t hallucinations then they were real.”
