“You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.”

“One: An end to cross-ownership in businesses. For example: weapons manufacturers cannot own TV stations, mining corporations cannot run newspapers, business houses cannot fund universities, drug companies cannot control public health funds. Two: Natural resources and essential infrastructure—water supply, electricity, health, and education—cannot be privatized. Three: Everybody must have the right to shelter, education, and health care. Four: The children of the rich cannot inherit their parents’ wealth.”

In themes, we are very different. My fiction is emotional, his is intellectual. Most of his characters flee from the horrors; mine ARE the horrors, or long to be so.”

“Att världen är oerhört väl inrättad för att inte minst liv skall uppkomma verkar stå utom allt tvivel. Men hur kan detta vara möjligt om världen i minsta detalj är entydigt bestämds av matematisk nödvändighet? Varför skulle matematiken bry sig om att frambringa en levande värld? Är det inte troligare att matematiken i stället tillåter flera olika möjligheter och att den antropiska principen sedan gör resten?”
