“[man] "I had no idea becoming an animal was this much bother."[Luxander} "You've always been one, sir. It's making you an honest one that's creating the difficulty.”
“We're [Luxenbenites] not talking about the emotional drivel your romanticists have fantasized. We're talking about nature's actual laws. The hard and fast rules every species has to observe. The ones you've so scrupulously ignored.”
“But don't you also find it hard to accept that your [mankind's] attempts to solve your problems fail with predictable regularity? It seems to us [Luxenbenites] you would welcome an overall solution.”
