“How many young college graduates have taken demanding jobs in high-powered firms, vowing that they will work hard to earn money that will enable them to retire and pursue their real interests when they are thirty-five? But by the time they reach that age, they have large mortgages, children to school, houses in the suburbs that necessitate at least two cars per family, and a sense that life is not worth living without really good wine and expensive holidays abroad. What are they supposed to do, go back to digging up roots? No, they double their efforts and keep slaving away.”

“How do you cause people to believe in an imagined order such as Christianity, democracy or capitalism? First, you never admit that the order is imagined.”

“Ci sorridiamo. Ci sorridiamo un sacco e a lungo. È una fortuna che siamo da soli. Gli innamorati hanno bisogno di privacy per molte più ragioni di quanto si creda. Il sesso non è la più sconcia delle cose che non vanno fatte in pubblico. Ci sono gli sguardi e i sorrisi, le parole in codice, i giochi, le carezze a tempo perso: tutta roba che, a vederla da fuori, ottiene l’unico e immancabile risultato di farti sembrare un cretino. Gli innamorati hanno bisogno di stare soli per guardarsi come stiamo facendo in questo esatto momento io e il commissario e potersi concedere di essere ridicoli senza che nessuno gli rompa i coglioni.”

“The romantic contrast between modern industry that “destroys nature” and our ancestors who “lived in harmony with nature” is groundless. Long before the Industrial Revolution, Homo sapiens held the record among all organisms for driving the most plant and animal species to their extinctions. We have the dubious distinction of being the deadliest species in the annals of life.”
