“If it's impossible to understand how I could kick a weeping, torn-in-half cog that was gushing something that looked like tapioca pudding and whale semen on my nice shiny space suit, then you probably never kicked a car for getting a flat tire, or slapped a television remote when the batteries were getting weak, in which case you'll never understand what it means or meant to be a human.”

“If it’s not about genetics, what is the bond?” Solomon asks, stepping forward with his forehead wrinkled in thought. “This sacred fellowship exists between two people who are one another’s perfect mirrors.

Stealing assets is wrong, and so is stealing the right to earn a living, no matter where the victim was born.”

“If it’s possible to have a thought without a word or an image, without time and space—complete, created by me, a revelation of what remains hidden in me (and from me) but suddenly appears, if it could be born so clearly for all to see, without origin, without any effort of breath, of tone of voice, of rhythm or hesitation, without vision even, emerging like a normal thought, or more than a thought: a thing—if such a thing could exist, then I’d like to tell a story.”
