“They are hypocrites, they think the church is a cage to keep God in, so he will stay locked up there and no go wandering about the earth during the week, poking his nose into their business, and looking into the depths and darkness and doubleness of their hearts, and their lack of true charity; and they believe they need only be bothered about him on Sundays when they have their best clothes on and their faces straight, and their hands washed and their gloves on, and their stories all prepared. But God is everywhere, and cannot be caged in, as men can.”

“Ignorance - of mortality - is a comfort. A man don't have that comfort, he's the only living thing that conceives of death, that knows what it is.”

“Trying to preserve some "space for yourself" in the crowded domestic sphere feels like obsessively cupping your hands around thin air. You carve it out, the time you need, after much anxiety and debate, and get into the separate space and look between your hands and there it is — nothing. An empty victory.”

“It is easy to despise institutions, to feel irritated or constrained by them - as I often do, despite a fondness for an ordered existence - but confronted with the style of Cy I felt glad he was at least tethered to an institution, like a red balloon caught in a tree, instead of floating out into the unforgiving city and finding himself deflated in the IT department of a bank or ad agency or some such. [...] The best we could hope for was that the university might act as a superstructure, accommodating and supporting our curious shapes and styles, and that this institutional cover would fool people into thinking we were something like utilities - and therefore something worth retaining - rather than peculiar manifestations of the spirit, seemingly put on earth to connect one thing to another.”
