"We are not by nature cruel."

-- J. M. Coetzee

“Didn't anyone tell you that size doesn't matter?" "Yes, but I told him to put his pants back on and go home.”
“I am like many of the women I have played onscreen.”
“Singularitarians are the munchkins of the real world. We just ignore all the usual dungeons and head straight for the cycle of infinite wish spells.”

“I'm not sure I'm okay with 2 guys gettin' married, but I don't wanna be a jerk about it.”
“We are always looking for signs. We are always asking for God to 'speak' to us. But those signs are all around us. They are in everything. God is always 'speaking'. The question is whether we are listening.”
“By remaining constrained in one's environment or country or family, one has little chance of being other than the original prescription. By leaving, one gains a perspective, a distance of both space and time, which is essential for writing about family or home, in any case.”
