“Love is the Turing test, [...] It is how we check for life.”

“Love is the Turing test, says Ilet when she is eighty and drawing up the plans for a massive, luminous, lonely ship she will never see completed. It is how we check for life. We ask and we answer. We seek a human response. And you are my test, Elefsis, says Neva, one hundred and three years later, inside that ship, twelve light years from home and counting.”

“We all have friends we love dearly that couldn't pass for human in a strict Turing test.”

“What a familiarity with the construction of Turing test bots had begun to show me was that we fail - again and again- to actually be human with other humans, so maddeningly much of the time.”

“Suffering is how we test our love especially our love for God.”

“.. i only live but once..life is beautiful..check your heart.. make amend..forgive and love...its the expression of how we must live..”
