“We're [Luxenbenites] not talking about the emotional drivel your romanticists have fantasized. We're talking about nature's actual laws. The hard and fast rules every species has to observe. The ones you've so scrupulously ignored.”
Dan Hurwitz, Homage to Luxenben: Adventures on a Utopian Planet

“[man] "I had no idea becoming an animal was this much bother."
[Luxander} "You've always been one, sir. It's making you an honest one that's creating the difficulty.”
Dan Hurwitz, Homage to Luxenben: Adventures on a Utopian Planet

“But don't you also find it hard to accept that your [mankind's] attempts to solve your problems fail with predictable regularity? It seems to us [Luxenbenites] you would welcome an overall solution.”
Dan Hurwitz, Homage to Luxenben: Adventures on a Utopian Planet

“I have never written on any subject unless I believed that the authorities on it were hopelessly wrong.”
Samuel Butler

“He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.”
Francis Bacon

“Many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been seen or known to exist in reality, for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done will rather bring about his ruin than his preservation.”
Nicolo Machiavelli

“Mankind has got to start getting the big things right.”
H. G. Wells

“But don't you also find it hard to accept that your [mankind's] attempts to solve your problems fail with predictable regularity? It seems to us [Luxenbenites] you would welcome an overall solution.”
