"Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman
Quotes from the Book
Posing the question: does the god of love use underarm deodorant, vaginal spray and fluoride toothpaste?
We talked across each other, our conversation at right angles, only meeting in the intersections of silence at story’s end.
In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek.” –French proverb
Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.” –ROBERT A. HEINLEIN, 1973
If one is unable to buy Courvoisier, one should forcibly restrain oneself from serving strawberries Romanoff for dessert.
We had reached the moment of final nightness.
There is only one real evil in the world: mediocrity.
for a people with a heritage of enslavement, evil is a concept of those who forged the shackles, not those who wore them.
