Nick swore he'd die with this boots on, on some exotic safari, but he found his Kilimanjaro in a hospital on Earth, where they'd cured everything that was bothering him, except for the galloping pneumonia he'd picked up in the hospital. That had been, roughly, two hundred and fifty years ago. I'd been a pallbearer.

I felt like the dee-jay of your choice.

Do you work for the government, any government?” I pay taxes, which means I work for the government, part of the time. Yes.

Why could you not have left me as I was, in the sea of being? Because the world has need of your humility, your piety, your great teaching and your Machiavellian scheming.

It would be nice if there were some one thing constant and unchanging in the universe. If there is such a thing, then it is a thing which would have to be stronger than love, and it is a thing which I do not know.
