“I don't think human beings were meant to know so much about the world. All this time and all thisexposure to every conceivable aspect of life - wisdom so rarely enters the picture. We barely have enough time to figure out who we are and thenwe become bitter and isolated as we age.”

“It's amazing that someone who knows so much about the human body can know so little about people. I think it's time we laid all our stars out on the table.”

“Sorry. I know we shouldn't be doing this. I know we were supposed to be friends for a while first, but God, I've missed you so much. I think about you all the time.”

“When we can treat all existing persons as human, it will be time enough to think about having more.”
