Quotes edit see section history

  • “I am monitoring communications." "You're always doing that." "A lot of them are about you. All kinds of experts are rushing here to have a look at you." "What kind of experts? Experts in nomes?" "Experts in talking to creatures from other worlds. Humans haven't met anyone from another world, but they've still got experts in talking to them.”
    The Thing and Masklin
  • “Gurder turned away. "I'm sorry," he muttered. "It's just that there's so much . . . changing. Why can't things stay the same for five minutes? Every time I get the hang of an idea, it suddenly turns into something different and I turn into a fool! All I want is something real to believe in! Where's the harm in that?" "I think you just have to have a flexible mind," said Masklin, knowing even as he said the words that this probably wasn't going to be a lot of help. "Flexible? Flexible? My mind's got so flexible I could pull it out of my ears and tie it under my chin!" snapped Gurder. "And it hasn't done me a whole lot of good, let me tell you! I'd have done better just believing everything I was taught when I was young! At least I'd only have been wrong once! This way I'm wrong all the time.!"”
  • “There are two kinds of space. Something that contains nothing and nothing that contains everything.”
