“Qui sta il paradosso: da un punto di vista oggettivo, sei completamente immune al dolore; ma nella tua mente, dal punto di vista della tua coscienza soggettiva, non c'è un momento in cui tu non ne sia immersa. Non capisco. Mia metà umana, non ti capisco. Non sono capace di comprenderti.”
― Lin Hsin-hui, Intimità senza contatto

Margaret Atwood
“He feels the need to hear a human voice—a fully human voice like his own. Sometimes he laughs like a hyena or roars like a lion—his idea of a hyena his idea of a lion.”
― Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake
