Quotes

• “Generally, it was impossible to understand the motives of aliens.”
• “People think it’s a failure to live alone. But it isn’t. The failure is to live with someone because you can’t face anything else.”
• “Anna accumulated things as a way of insulating herself against her own thoughts.”
• “She had impressed him as capable of behaviour even more meaningless than most human beings. He had watched her kill her own people with a ferocity that betrayed real grief. But she was someone, he had decided early, who struggled harder with life than she needed to: this he respected, even admired.”
• “Then he heard a voice say: “It was amazing to them to discover they had always been in the garden without understanding it,” and knew for certain that the inside and the outside of everything are always a single, continuous medium. In that moment he believed he could go anywhere. With a shout of elation he attempted to fall forward in all possible directions at once; only to find to his dismay that in the very exercise of this privilege he had selected one of them.”
• ““Everywhere you look it unpacks to infinity. What you look for, you find. And you people can have it. All of it.”The comfortable generosity of this offer puzzled Kearney, so he decided to ignore it. It seemed meaningless anyway.”
