“But life, they said, means life. Dying inside.

“All our lives are symbols. Everything we do is part of a pattern we have at least some say in. The strong make their own patterns and influence other people's, the weak have their courses mapped out for them. The weak and the unlucky, and the stupid.”

“Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man?”
