“The baby is on my mind all the time, even when I sleep. I am sure she is a girl, for no reason I can explain, and it suddenly seems to me that even the idea of babies is exquisitely, blindingly beautiful. How they arrive knowing nothing at all--what year they live in or where they live or that money exists or what Earth even is. My baby doesn't know yet that she's even on a planet at all; she doesn't know about the sun or that hordes of people can be terrible to each other. I think it's this innocence that is suddenly so shattering to me. I realize how the world doesn't seem to deserve this innocence. But we'll try to earn it, won't we, Beth?”

“The downside is the fear of something happening to her. The pressure of there being two bodies in the world that I want to keep from harm and only being able to watchfully inhabit one of them. I wonder if you know what I mean. I hope that you do, for your sake. It’s a worry I’ll have to learn to live with because I’m definitely out of wishes.”
― David Mitchell, Back Story
