“There comes a point where emotions must give way to objective facts.”

“Seeing an equal person as an inferior object is an act of violence...It hurts as much as a punch to the face. In fact, in many ways it hurts more. Bruises heal more quickly than emotional scars do.”

“Book! You lie there; the fact is, you books must know your places. You'll do to give us the bare words and facts, but we come in to supply the thoughts.”

“We must rebuild organic communities, where people can come together and have analogue conversations and share stories, art, music and emotions.”

And it depends on chance whether or not we come upon this object before we ourselves must die.”
