“We all, to some extent, reinvent ourselves. Jeffrey (Archer) has just gone to a bit more trouble.”

“Don't kill her now, just when we've gone to all that trouble to rescue her," said Jeffrey.”

“We're not very good as a species at looking into the future. It's much easier to look back at the past. We can edit out the bits we don't like, reinvent ourselves. But there's nothing about the future we can edit or reinvent. Most people are prisoners of the future just as much as they are prisoners of their genes.”

“There'll always be a market for shit, of course. Just look at Jeffrey Archer! He writes like old people fuck doesn't he?”

“That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.”

“Sometimes I get the feeling that we're just a bunch of habits. The gestures we repeat over and over, they're just our need to be recognized. Without them, we'd be unidentifiable. We have to reinvent ourselves every minute.”
