“Get up you lazy bastard. The Governor wants a word with you,” said a guard.  He opened his eyes and smiled. There was another guard standing near the cell door in  anticipation of any trouble. The prisoner smiled at him, too.  Now what can the Governor want from me? He wondered. His dishevelled form seemed  incapable of coherent thought. “It’s nice of him to remember me,” he said aloud, trying to  concentrate. “Surprising he’s got any time for a worthless shit like you,” said the first guard.  “I once used to be a very important person,” the prisoner said feebly.”

“If feminism means anything at all, women with power should be addressing their energies to help the girls and women who suffer the pain of genital mutilation, who are at risk of being murdered because of their Western lifestyle and ideas, who must ask for permission just to leave the house, who are treated no better than serfs, branded and mutilated, traded without regard to their wishes. If you are a true feminist, these women should be your first priority.”

“The car shot forward straight into the circle of light, and suddenly Arthur had a fairly clear idea of what infinity looked like.

It wasn’t infinity in fact. Infinity itself looks flat and uninteresting. Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity—distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless. The chamber into which the aircar emerged was anything but infinite, it was just very very very big, so big that it gave the impression of infinity far better than infinity itself.”

“Nothing can invade our being without our permission. It is energetically impossible. We can be confident in our eternal being of infinite abilities of every kind, limited only by our imagination, emotional spectrum and personal beliefs and perspectives.
