“Self-awareness is a trait that not only makes us human but also paradoxically makes us want to be more than merely human. As I said in my BBC Reith Lectures, “Science tells us we are merely beasts, but we don’t feel like that. We feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, forever craving transcendence”

“Lembrei que quando eu aprendi a ler entrei em desespero, porque descobri que não era mais possível olhar as palavras sem ler. Tentei muitas vezes, queria de volta os desenhos-letras jogados pelas ruas. Foi uma lição sem volta. Tudo o que as palavras dissessem me tornei obrigada a ouvir. Fico pensando quantas coisas não vou poder nunca mais deixar de saber.”
