Every seed has a story.

By the time we, consumers, are aware of processes like genetic engineering, they're already being done. It's sort of like the war in Iraq: By the time we know about it, it's almost a fait accompli. And that's certainly true with science.

But in the time it takes to say now, now is already over. It's already then.

Information is a lot like water; it's hard to hold on to, and hard to keep from leaking away.

The important thing was that we were being polite and not saying all the things that were making us unhappy, which was the only way we knew how to love each other.

...I am a time being. Do you know what a time being is? Well, if you give me a moment, I will tell you. A time being is someone who lives in time, and that means you, and me, and every one of us who is, or was, or ever will be.

I believe it doesn't matter what it is, as long as you can find something concrete to keep you busy while you are living your meaningless life.
