“Tain Shir walks the deck of RNS Sulane between the bombs and incendiaries and steel-tipped barbs. A weapon among weapons but she alone is free. The tragedy of the knife is the hilt. The tragedy of the crossbow is the trigger. Shir has neither. She cannot be gripped nor fired.
She is unmastered.
The sailors are rude with her. So be it. Etiquitte is the domain of those whose power is conditional upon the respect of others, and Shir is unconditional. If she drifted alone in the void beyond the moon or if she walked among the monarchs of the ancient Cheetah Palaces she would not be altered in her capabilities or her intentions, for not one truth of her resides within a relationship to any other thing.”

“Tainting the Tea Party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There's no evidence that Tea Party adherence are any more racist than other Republicans and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats in November, having one's opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.”
“Taip, mūsų tautą kankino kiti. Draudė kalbą, tikėjimą, neleido keliauti po pasaulį. Bet jei mūsų tautoje buvo ir budelių, kodėl turėtume bijoti šios tiesos? Ar ji sugriauna mūsų likimus? Galbūt mums perštės, kai galvosim apie savo prosenelius, apie kuriuos kai ką sužinojom, nebus taip malonu žiūrėti į paveldėtus antikvarinius daiktus, kurie nežinia kaip atsirado jų namuose. Tegu peršti. Bet žinosim, kad tas perštėjimas yra mūsų atsiprašymas ir atgaila. Žinosim, kad tiems, kurie gyvens po mūsų, neperštės dėl mūsų gyvenimo ir mūsų sprendimų. Mes neprikelsim nė vieno iš kapo, nesutaikysim budelio su auka, bet galbūt išmoksime “pamokas, kad tai, kas įvyko, nebepasikartotų.”

“Taiteella ja unella on lukuisia yhtäläisyyksiä. Ajattelen, että taiteella inhimillisessä yhteiskunnassa on osaksi sama tehtävä kuin uniennäkemisellä yksilön fyysiselle ja henkiselle hyvinvoinnille. Unien informaatiosisällön rikkaus, niiden narratiivisuus, niiden ehtymätön kompleksisuus muistuttaa taideteoksen kerroksisuutta. Unet ja taide ovat portteja paitsi piilotajunnan myös laajemman vapauden ja ennustamattomuuden valtakuntaan.”

“Taivaan isä varjelkoon meitä pula-ajoista! Sen pahempaa onnettomuutta ei voi sattua. Piruuntuneet rouvasihmiset jonottavat lanttuja ja särkiä, eikä niillä ole mikään ilo ruokkia lapsiperheitä. Koko maassa on painostava tunnelma ja melkein voi arvata, että jossain ammutaan ja kärvennetään ihmisiä...”

“Tajuan, samalla tavalla kuin tajutaan että aurinko paistaa tai että koivuihin on ilmestynyt silmuja, että tässä on ihminen jonka kanssa haluan olla. Tässä hän on. Hän jota odotin päivisin yliopiston ruokalan nurkkapöydässä ja öisin kapeassa sängyssäni, katossa häälyviä varjoja katsellen. Ja nyt kun hän on tässä, tuijotan häntä kestohymy kasvoillani, avuttomana kuin ystävällinen alkuasukas viidakkoon eksynyttä antropologia. Nytkö minä rakastun? Nytkö se tapahtuu? Näin helposti?”

Ia adalah cara manusia menyambung masa lalu ke masa depan, tanpa menelan bulat narasi usang, tetapi juga tanpa menghilangkan akar.”
