Memorable Quotes
-
“"Why would an all-knowing One create a being and give it a nature- give it desire, give it need- and then reject that being for doing what its nature called it to do?”
Kiriel -
“"The Reeds of the world- why did they always feel sorry later? Why couldn't they be sorry while there was still something to do about it? All this guy had to do was keep his mouth shut- just shut up and be still!- right now. All Reed had to do was nothing. That was all. And yet he wouldn't do it."”
Kiriel -
“Was this what being human did to you? Warped you so that all you could think about was the tiny points at which other people's lives intersected yours? Made you forget that every one of these points has not only a history, but an infinite number of possible futures that can be spun out or stunted- or even unraveled to make more possibilities?”
Kiriel -
“"There was somthing comforting about it <the church>. In some ways it bore a resemblance to bathing in Shaun's tub: the feeling of floating in something thicker than air, something that pressed around me and bore me upward even though I was still on the ground."”
Kiriel -
“"It's the glitches and twists...that make this universe unique and compelling. Without flaws, there would be no depth, no substance."”
Kiriel -
“"My place in the universe may not be what others would consider desirable. But it's mine."”
Kiriel
First Sentence
First thing I did was, I stole a body.
