"The superman is a premature ideal, one that presupposes man."

“I don't write political plays in the sense that I'm writing essays that are kind of disguised as plays. I would really defy anyone to watch any of my plays and say 'Well, here's the point.'”
“So Crake never remembered his dreams. It's Snowman that remembers them instead. Worse than remembers: he's immersed in them, he'd wading through them, he's stuck in them. Every moment he's lived in the past few months was dreamed first by Crake. No wonder Crake screamed so much.”
“Iâ€™m trying to please myself; certainly thatâ€™s a big criterion... though in a sense, I donâ€™t take images just for myself. I take images that I think other people will want to see. I donâ€™t take pictures to put in a box and hide them. I want as many people to see them as possible.”
“In the past few months, I've become convinced of one thing: If I were a man, I'd be paid more.”

“Abnegation produces deeply serious people. People who automatically see things like need,â€ he says. â€œIâ€™ve noticed that when people switch to Dauntless, it creates some of the same types.

And Abnegation who switch to Dauntless become . . . I donâ€™t know, soldiers, I guess. Revolutionaries.”
“Our nuclear free status means that we decline to acquiesce in the strategies of nuclear deterrence. We will not turn a blind eye to them, and pretend that the weapons are no longer a threat. We will not in any way tolerate the testing of nuclear weapons, or their manufacture, or their deployment.”

“Bachelors know all about parties. In fact, a good bachelor is a living, breathing party all by himself. At least that is what my girlfriend said when she found the gin bottles under the couch. I believe her exact words were, "You're a disgusting, drunken mess." And that's a good description of a party, if it's done right.”
“Where I grew up, acting wasn't really accessible. I was just playing sports. But, I did watch a lot of TV. I watched a lot of Clint Eastwood movies on TV and had this fantasy of being like him when I grew up.”
