Quotes
- “Unliving things have no passions, and no memory: mere matter is the amnesia of the universe.”
- “There was no point in debating the advantages of reality over unreality. There was no reasoning with someone to whom truth was a matter of taste.”
- “I cannot describe myself except to say that I am either very vain or very beautiful, and that I hope I am the latter, while suspecting I may be the former.”
- “This thought had led to the fear that I might pick the wrong God to pray to. I thought that, because praying to the wrong God was expressly a sin, and because a merciful God might forgive me for forgetting to pray, it therefore followed that, even without knowing which one was the right one, my best chances lay in staying quiet and hoping for the best. That strategy worked in class when I didn’t know the answer, so I supposed it might work in the arena of theology, also.”
- “It seemed even the smallest exercise of arbitrary authority could go to one’s head like wine. I told myself to remember this when I was older.”
- “You all think I am a coward, when all I am is polite.”
