“What if you have a genuine and captivating beauty that is marred only by your striving?”
“You're captives of a civilizational system that more or less compels you to go on destroying the world in order to live. … You are captives—and you have made a captive of the world itself. That's what's at stake, isn't it?—your captivity and the captivity of the world.”
“Nothing, not even time, will mar your beauty in my eyes.”
“You can't leave me. I'm your captive," she said. "What good's a captive without her captor?”
“When you finally give up striving, you will be left with what you have been striving for.”
“Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates.”
