“Percy sees me off at the door with more affirming words but no hug or even a pat upon the shoulder. Thank god for friends who learn to speak to you in your own language rather than making you learn theirs.”

“Etisk stress innebär att personalen har en tydlig idé om vad den bör göra i en viss situation, men inte kan genomföra det på grund av organisatoriska hinder. Det kan handla om sjuksköterskor som vill ge god omvårdnad men istället måste sköta den allt tyngre administrationen, eller socionomer som vill ge ett utsatt barn stöd, men hindras av tidsbrist. Etisk stress är ofta en sund reaktion på en omöjlig situation där de professionella värderingarna och själva kärnan i yrkeskompetensen ställs mot underbemanning, tidsbrist och arbetsuppgifter som inte hör till kärnverksamheten.”

“Time stops. He lies on his shattered back, looking upward. The dome above him hovers, a cracked shell about to fall in shards all around him. A thousand - a thousand thousand - green-tipped, splitting fingerlings fold over him, praying and threatening. Bark disintegrates; wood clarifies. The trunk turns into stacks of spreading metropolis, networks of conjoined cells pulsing with energy and liquid sun, water rising through long thin reeds, through the narrowing tunnels of transparent twigs and out through their waving tips, while sun-made sustenance drops down in tubes just inside them. A colossal, rising, reaching, stretching space elevator of a billion independent parts, shuttling the air into the sky and storing the sky deep underground, sorting possibility from out of nothing: the most perfect piece of self-writing code that his eyes could hope to see. Then his eyes close in shock and Neelay shuts down.”
