• "Bill sings to Sarah, Sarah sings to Bill.
  Perhaps they will do other dangerous things
  together. They may eat lamb or stroke each other.
  They may chant of their difficulties and their
  happiness. They have love but they also have
  typewriters. That is interesting."

STORYTELLING

• A good story always has characters like the
  infamous Rusty Woe, Fr. John Cameron,
  and the combative Honorable Trip Davis,
  childhood friends before the war. Rusty is
  angry with John Cameron. John and Trip Davis
  are lovers. But Trip has a grudge against
  Rusty. Rusty always wore shoes that were too
  small. John borrowed money from Rusty. So
  Trip borrowed money from Rusty. Trip Davis
  never came around much after that. John was
  really surprised by Rusty Woe.

Paradox

• If consciousness is an illusion, we would never
  know it, because the illusion would deceive us.

Conclusion

• "You can only begin to de-robotize yourself to
  the extent that you know how totally you're
  automated. The more you understand your
  robothood, the freer you are from it. I sometimes
  ask people, "What percentage of your behavior is
  robot?" The average hip, sophisticated person
  will say, "Oh, 50." Total robots in the group
  will immediately say, "None of my behavior is
  robotized." My own answer is that I'm 99.999999
  robot. But the .000001 percent non-robot is the
  source of self-actualization, the
  inner-soul-gyroscope of self-control and
  responsiblity."
