- My instructors in science and technology have taught us about how the brain works. It's full of electrical impulses. It's like a computer. If you stimulate one part of the brain with an electrode, it... - They know nothing.

Early on I came to realize something, and it came from the mail I received from kids. That is, kids at that pivotal age, 12, 13 or 14, they're still deeply affected by what they read, some are changed by what they read, books can change the way they feel about the world in general. I don't think that's true of adults as much.

It's just that... without the memories it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I wish they'd ask for my wisdom more often - there are so many things I could tell them things I wish they would change. But they don't want change. Life here is so orderly, so predictable - so painless. It's what they've chosen.
