Young man, if God had wanted you to see me that way, he would have put your eyes in your bellybutton.

If you turn out to be useful as well as ornamental, you can stay forever.

To understand Homo sapiens’ primary wish list, go back to mythology. We endowed the gods with the abilities we wished we had ourselves: immortality and eternal youth, flight, resplendent beauty, total power, climate control, ultimate weapons, delicious banquets minus the cooking and washing up — and artificial creatures at our beck and call.

Language fits over experience like a straight jacket.
