Quotes
- “I’m decrepit, but I ain’t senile.”
- “I thought his lack of curiosity must be monumental, but I was wrong. It turned out that he had some queer notions about the morality of the whole process, ideas he had gotten from some weirdly aberrant religion in his childhood. I had heard of the cult, as you can hardly avoid it if you know any history. It had said little about ethics, being more interested in arbitrary regulations.”
- “It’s unpleasant to find that what you had thought of as moral scruples suddenly seem not quite so important in the face of a stack of money.”
- “There were worlds in the jewel. There was ancient Barsoom of my childhood fairy tales; there was Middle Earth with brooding castles and sentient forests. The jewel was a window on something unimaginable, a place where there were no questions and no emotions but a vast awareness.”
- “Just because Beethoven doesn’t sound like currently popular art doesn’t mean his music is worthless.”
- “Thou shalt not screw around with things you do not understand.”
