The best thing about being God would be making the heads.

There is a spider called Amaurobius, which lives in a burrow and has its young in the late summer, and then it dies when the frosts begin, and the young spiders live through the cold by eating their mother's dead body. One can't believe that's an accident. I don't know that I imagined God as having thought it all out, but somehow He was connected with the pattern, He was the pattern.

emotions really exist at the bottom of the personality or at the top. in the middle they are acted. this is why all the world is a stage.

There is no substitute for the comfort supplied by the utterly taken-for-granted relationship.

... half the world starves. What a planet. And the eating, if you're lucky enough to do any. Stuffing pieces of dead animals into a hole in your face. Then munch, munch, munch. If there's anybody watching, they must be dying of laughter.

Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wavelength of ours all they hear is a continuous scream.

We can only learn to love by loving.
