“Most of the arguments still put forward against evolution are so blatantly spurious, so intellectually bankrupt, that they don’t warrant the time of intelligent human beings in refuting them. There’s one exception: that if nature truly favored the proliferation of the most suitably equipped, women would have four arms by now, and eyes dotted around their heads like a spider. They already have a keen sense, which no man can match, of when something is a really bad idea.”

“While Mrs. Brevoort was doing all she could to secure safe passage out of Europe for her family, Mr. Brevoort seemed to have taken permanent residence in a remote land ruled by occult conspiracies, mystic hierarchies, and labyrinthine laws. Everyday tasks became unmanageable, and each morning found him more and more disoriented. He spoke, day and night, in a mélange of increasingly imaginary tongues, struggling to understand the rules he had created for himself and getting lost in the antinomies and paradoxes that beset his mind. He became irascible.”
