“Everybody else needs mirrors to remind themselves who they are. You’re no different.”

“Too bad. And Mozart, not long after writing The Magic Flute, had died--in his thirties--of kidney disease. And had been buried in an unmarked pauper's grave.
Thinking this, he wondered if Mozart had any intuition that the future did not exist, that he had already used up his little time. Maybe I have too, Rick thought as he watched the rehearsal move along. This rehearsal will end, the performance will end, the singers will die, eventually the last score of the music will be destroyed in one way or another; finally the name "Mozart" will vanish, the dust will have won. If not on this planet then another. We can evade it awhile. As the andys can evade me and exist a finite stretch longer. But I will get them or some other bounty hunter gets them. In a way, he realized, I'm part of the form-destroying process of entropy.”

“إن الحياة نفسها أكثر جرأة وأجمح خيالاً من الفنان...في الطبيعة يمكن أن يسقط نيزك من الفضاء الخارجي ليقتل الشرير،بينما لا يمكن ان يكتب الأديب ذلك وهو بكامل قواه العقلية....في الطبيعة يمكن لأمريكا ان تلقي قنبلة ذرية على مدينة سكنية عادية لمجرد انها تريد تجربتها بينما لا يجسر أديب مجنون على تخيل ذلك”

“هل يتوقعون أن تتحسن الأمور؟ الأمور لا تتحسن أبدا. تاريخ البشرية هو حشد من الحماقة والمصائب. فقط يتطور العلم. وتطور العلم لا يمد يد العون للأخلاق، لكنه يجعل الشر أكثر براعة وتعقيدا. قارن بين آثار حرب طروادة وبين القنبلة الهيدروجينية.. قارن العهر في أثينا القديمة بأعياد "ماردي جرا" المعاصرة ونوادي التعري وتجارة البورنو. لقد انحدرت البشرية إلى القاع وحان الوقت كي تمحى.”

“You're beginning to get the idea, Clark. We could have changed the world…now…look at us…I've become a political liability…and…you…you're a joke. I want you to remember, Clark…in all the years to come…in your most private moments…I want you to remember…my hand…at your throat…I want…you to remember…the one man who beat you.”
