“Creo que es así como sobrevive la humanidad: por contagio.”
― コンビニ人間 [Konbini ningen]

“They made me think of my students, who are so young and look at the road ahead of them happily, having no idea that the road narrows and turns back on itself, and goes through dark places, and is covered all over with things to trip you up and break your ankles.”

“M-am întrebat cu regret dacă imprudența pe care o comisesem era chiar de neiertat, dar nu mai aveam ce face. Abia își scosese mănuşile chirurgicale, iar degetele îi erau încă albe și umflate. M-a lovit cu aceeași mână cu care scotea cristaline încețoșate, schimba cornee sau cosea retine rupte. Ridicată în aer, palma sa mare a fluturat ca o creatură însuflețită, înainte de a se izbi de obrazul meu stâng. Am simțit-o caldă și umedă. În mod ciudat, nu m-a durut. Nici el nu era furios. Avea aceeași expresie ca și cum ar fi continuat să opereze. Şi nu era doar despre durere. Nu am simțit nici groază, nici dezamăgire. M-am gândit mai degrabă că palma lui făcuse exact ceea ce trebuia pentru noi doi în acel moment. Cu mult timp înainte ca el să mă lovească, îl făcusem deja bucățele în sufletul meu.”

“Being young's a sort of sickness,
Measles, mumps or chicken pox.
Gather all your toys together,
Lock them in a wooden box.
That means tolchocks, crasting and dratsing,
All of the things that suit a boy.
When you build instead of busting,
You can start your Ode to Joy.
Do not be a clockwork orange,
Freedom has a lovely voice.
Here is good and there is badness,
Look on both, then take your choice.
Sweet in juice and hue and aroma,
Let's not be changed to fruit machines.
Choice is free but seldom easy-
That's what human freedom means.”
