“There is some history that I want not to have happened. I resist the consequences of being Nemesis.”

“Each being in the universe yearns for the free energy necessary for survival and development. Each existence resists extinction. The consequent history of violence in the universe is as inevitable as the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun.”

“This I remember. Some people put this out of their minds and forget it. I don’t. I don’t want to forget it. I don’t want it to take the best of me, but I want to be there because this is what happened. This is the truth, you know. History.”

“History is not usually what has happened. History is what some people have thought to be significant.”

“That we have some history together that hasn’t happened yet.”

“Be careful. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to the worst Spanish student in the history of the language.”I laughed. “No problemo.”
