“Everything. A letter may be coded, and a word may be coded. A theatrical performance may be coded, and a sonnet may be coded, and there are times when it seems the entire world is in code. Some believe that the world can be decoded by performing research in a library. Others believe that the world can be decoded by reading a newspaper. In my case, the only thing that made sense of the world was you, and without you the world will seem as garbled and tragic as a malfunctioning typewrit9.”
“What on earth prompted you to take a hand in this?""I don't know. My… my code of morals, perhaps.""Your code of morals. What code, if I may ask?""Comprehension.”
“There are thousands of codes in the Torah which are decoded by the Talmud.”
“A dream dictionary is a one-size-fits-all-palm-reading-astrology-column-in-the-newspaper-carrot-equals-penis secret-code decoder.”
“Magic is the cheat codes for the world.”
“Don't be a slave to history. Don't let existing code dictate future code. All code can be replaced if it is no longer appropriate.

The assumption is that the impact will be less than the cost of /not/ making the change.”
