“I haven't met that many women, human or angelic, who actually like to drive. In my experience they seem to be much more pragmatic about the whole thing than we are.

Any problems that may occur have ultimately been caused by you, because you are responsible for where you are and what you are doing there.”

“The race is long. It is better to drive within oneself and finish the race behind the other than it is to drive too hard and crash.”

“The tourists always seem to want something. On Thisby, it's less about wanting, and more about being." I wonder after I say it if he'll think I sound like have no drive or ambition.”
