“WHY SHOULD MAN EXPECT HIS PRAYER FOR MERCY TO BE HEARD BY WHAT IS ABOVE HIM WHEN HE SHOWS NO MERCY TO WHAT IS UNDER HIM?” - PIERRE TROUBETZKOY

“People aren't rational. You aren't rational. We're not thinking machines, we're—we're feeling machines that happen to think.”

“I am a conduit. I exist to bridge the gap, and I'd bridge nothing if I only told you what these people said. So I am telling you what they meant, and it will mean as much to you as you can handle.”

… It means nothing to me because I still don’t know what’s going on because the way it’s written is confusing as fuck…

“When the fate of the world hangs in the balance, you want to keep an eye on anyone whose career-defining moment involves consorting with the enemy.”

Still don’t know about this one…

“If the unknown was hostile, we were probably doomed no matter what we did. The unknown was technologically advanced—and there were some who claimed that that made them hostile by definition. Technology implies belligerence, they said.”

Sort of getting better. But still don’t really know what’s going on haha.

“It stayed so discreetly in the background, nurtured and carried us and permeated our existence like an unobtrusive god; but like God, it never took your calls.”

Good writing, but I have basically no idea what’s going on right now. I’m not intelligent enough to follow it…
