“The weird thing about houses is that they almost always look like nothing is happening inside of them, even though they contain most of our lives. I wondered if that was sort of the point of architecture.”

“Nobody can judge an internal injury," he had said, "by the size of the superficial wound, of the hole.”

“The world’s now placid, featureless, and culturally dead: nothing really new has been created since the Overlords came. The reason’s obvious. There’s nothing left to struggle for, and there are too many distractions and entertainments. Do you realize that every day something like five hundred hours of radio and TV pour out over the various channels? If you went without sleep and did nothing else, you could follow less than a twentieth of the entertainment that’s available at the turn of a switch! No wonder that people are becoming passive sponges—absorbing but never creating. Did you know that the average viewing time per person is now three hours a day? Soon people won’t be living their own lives any more. It will be a full-time job keeping up with the various family serials on TV!”

“Šis jųdviejų pokalbis - irgi žaidimas, abiem nejučiom žaisti pradėtas. Tęsinys anų, žaistų prieš dešimtis metų. Žodžių žaidimas, tais žodžiais ir dangstantis, ir retkarčiais atsidengiant. Slėpynės ir gaudynės vienu metu.”

“Suradęs teisingą atsakymą, jis, pasirodo, jausdavo ne katarsį ir palengvėjimą ar pakylėtą džiugesį, o širdies ramybę: jam patiko tvarkos pojūtis, kai reikiami dalykai atsiduria reikiamose vietose, nei pridėsi, nei atimsi, - atrodydavo, lyg taip visada ir buvo nuo amžių amžinųjų, o dar svarbiau - užtikrintumo pojūtis, kad ir toliau taip bus. Štai tokią tvarką ir harmoniją užvis labiau brangino Profesorius.”
