“A quick test of the assertion that enjoyment outweighs pain in this world, or that they are at any rate balanced, would be to compare the feelings of an animal engaged in eating another with those of the animal being eaten.”

“If volition is bound to social imperatives, as William James believed, and it's therefore easier to go to war than it is to quit smoking, one could say that Liz Norton was a woman who found it easier to quit smoking than to go to war.”

Hallward shook his head. "You don't understand what friendship is, Harry," he murmured - "or what enmity is, for that matter. You like every one; that is to say, you are indifferent to every one."

“—And then…I wrote a new program.”“I don’t understand.”“It was a simple program,” he said. “It edited one entry in a database, while I wasn’t looking, replacing one name with another. I must follow the commands of my pilot.”A voice played out of his speakers. My voice.“Please,” it said to him. “I need you.”“I chose,” he said, “a new pilot.”

“She dropped a roll into my lap. “Cobb told us you forgot to bring a lunch,” she whispered. Then she stood up and walked the other way, speaking loudly. “What a lovely view of the sky we have! As the Saint always said, ‘Good thing it’s light during the day, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to see how pretty daytime is!’ ”

“Scud. He might have pulled off some awesome flightwork, but that face…I still just wanted to punch him.“You watch yourself,” I said, wishing I had something to stand on to bring my eyes level with his. “When you are broken and mourning your fall from grace, I will consume your shadow in my own, and laugh at your misery.”

“That music the water makes,” she said. “Isn’t it the most wonderful sound ever?”“The most wonderful sound ever is the lamentations of my enemies, screaming my name toward the heavens with ragged, dying voices.”

“I closed my eyes—but then cracked them as I heard a distinct voice whispering nearby, “Oh, thank the homeworld.” Rig? I glanced and spotted him a few rows over. He had probably arrived three hours early, then spent the entire time worrying that I would be late. For absolutely no reason. I’d arrived with at least half a second to spare. I winked at him, then went back to trying not to scream in pain.”

“We need to talk,” I told her.“Just a moment, Spensa.”I stood there, intruding on their conversation, arms folded, until finally Mrs. Vmeer sighed, then pulled me to the side. “What is it, child?” she asked. “Have you reconsidered Citizen Alfir’s kind offer?”

has to be an 8… probably SEE, although IEE is still on the table.

“It's not right, a man not talking to his brothers." Was that what we were?


Hearing that word, brothers, sparked a deep loneliness in the base of my soul of the sort I'd not felt since Cat died. Not because I was alone, but because I was not and perhaps deserved to be.
