“Men love war because it allows them to look serious. Because they imagine it is the one thing that stops women laughing at them. In it they can reduce women to the status of objects. That is the great distinction between the sexes. Men see objects, women see relationship between objects. Whether the objects love each other, need each other, match each other. It is an extra dimension of feeling we men are without and one that makes war abhorrent to all real women - and absurd. I will tell you what war is. War is a psychosis caused by an inability to see relationships. Our relationship with our fellow-men. Our relationship with our economic and historical situation. And above all our relationship to nothingness. To death.”
― John Fowles, The Magus

"That ship?'' said Ford in sudden excitement. "What happened to it? Do you know?''

"It hated me because I talked to it.''

"You talked to it?'' exclaimed Ford. "What do you mean you talked to it?''

"Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself in to its external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the Universe to it,'' said Marvin.

"And what happened?'' pressed Ford.

"It committed suicide,'' said Marvin and stalked off back to the Heart of Gold.”
