“Vi andre, vi utstøtte, vi reiser omkring på planeten for å finne et eller annet som kan fylle tomheten og ensomheten vi føler inne i oss. Vi suges opp av det ukjente fordi vi har forkastet alle konvensjoner og godkjente livspremisser som falske og ubrukelige. Anarkiet er bare umodenhet. Sosialisme en svindel. Kommunismen et bedrag. Kapitalismen en utvekst på jordens rompe og som sådan motbydelig. Velferdsstaten en latterlig feiltagelse og all religion blasfemisk.
Jeg vendte ryggen til alt dette fordi det ikke ga meg svar på mitt grunnleggende spørsmål: Hvor eller hvordan skal jeg finne en grunn til å fortsette å leve et liv som under enhver omstendighet er dømt til undergang?”

“I’m not turning my back on Norway.
But I’m not a Northman, I’m an Earthman. I live on a planet. And the
planet is sailing through space. What is Oslo? A speck. A moaning dust
mote. And the forests here in the north are so cold, so cold.”

“What saved me from open conflict with him from the first moment I set foot in #1409 was partly self-discipline on my side, partly the fortunate circumstance that I was able to muffle the effect of this jungle themed wallpaper by thinking of my own wallpaper, i.e.
wallpaper of the highest Kroft & Aklam quality, where the same tiny little puppy is reproduced over and over again in groups or rather in wheels or circles of five and five, or, if you like, in rosette-patterns which are made up of five little walldogs springing at each other's tails, that's to say five walldogs to each rosette. I don't doubt for one moment that it was the thought of the five rosette-dogs which saved my relationship with Lem from degenerating into fisticuffs”
