“Parece instintivamente que la felicidad está por venir. Que la palabra felicidad remite al futuro. Pero remite realmente a un pasado remoto, del que la extrapolamos al futuro remoto con un movimiento mecánico de autodefensa. Se ha dicho que la literatura de ciencia ficción está llena de añoranzas prehistóricas. Eso es. Sólo se puede soñar el pasado. El futuro es un pasado actuante. Un pasado que actúa como futuro. Confío en que seré feliz porque alguna vez lo fui. Y creo que alguna vez lo fui porque entonces, aquella vez, creía asimismo haberlo sido en otro tiempo. Todo instante de felicidad no es sino la confirmación de que tenemos un pasado. Sólo la memoria goza.”

“Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
