“Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.”
“I'd rather argue with you, angel, then laugh with anyone else.”
“But I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them. I would rather know all this about myself than have more money than I need. I'd rather have something to love than a way to impress you.”
“He seemed like a walking blasphemy, a blend of the angel and the ape.”
“I viewed my fellow man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape.”
