Volume Ii Quotes

“Knowing that a particle can occupy two different states at the same time—a state known as superposition—and, two particles, such as two particles of light, or photons, can become entangled, means that there is a unique, coupled state in which an action, like a measurement, upon one particle immediately causes a correlated change in the other.
If there is a better word to describe my relationship with Fanio than entangled, I have yet to hear it. Even when the two entangled particles—or people—are separated by a great distance (and I mean emotional or physical distance, such as mine with Epifanio, or like being at opposite ends of the universe), their movements or actions affect each other. Yet, before any measurements or other assessments occur, the actual "spin states" of either of the two particles are uncertain and even unknowable.”

Death, which will end everything and which must come today or tomorrow - in a moment, anyhow, compared with eternity.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“ESPE: So, in both conversations, Lama Sangyay steers you away from thinking directly about Epifanio or your relationship (or lack thereof) and right into the nature of your mind. So masterful.
CLARA: Isn't he? I hate those instructions. I do not want to do those contemplations. I want Epifanio!
ESPE [laughing]: Of course you do. How does it feel to want?
CLARA: "Et tu, Brute?"
ESPE: Oh, sí, Señora. ¡Yo también!”

“I never knew we had allies in these areas did you Agres?” Nicka asked, Agres shrugged “You learn something new everyday.”
