This is a fucking horror book lol. “all down the way the pursued & the pursuing, the dream&the dreamers. The sudden revealment, the flash of familiar eyes, the cry of an old name, the remembrances of other times, the crowd multiplying. The Swift figure meaning everything to them, all identities, all persons, all names how many different names have been uttered in the last five minutes? How many different faces?”

“Oh, it started very small, it was a grain of sand. They began by controlling books of cartoons, and then detective books, and of course films, one way or another, one group or another, political bias, religious prejudice, union pressures, there was always a minority, afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid the past, afraid of the present, afraid themselves”

"We earthmen have a ton for ruining big beautiful things. The only reason we didn't set up hotdog stands in the midst of the Egyptian Temple of Karnak is because it was out of the way, and it served no large commercial purpose."
