“once he was cocooned by its embrace, he would be too indoctrinated to perceive it.”

“The prospect of his future life stretched before him like a sentence; not a prison sentence but a long-winded sentence with a lot of unnecessary subordinate clauses, as he was soon in the habit of quipping during Happy Hour pickup time at the local campus bars and pubs. He couldn’t say he was looking forward to it, this rest-of-his-life.”
― Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake
