“You've gut to git up airly
Ef you want to take in God.”

“An’ the Gobble-uns ’ll git you
Ef you don’t watch out.”

“Sometimes you gwyne to git hurt, en sometimes you gwyne to git sick; but every time you's gwyne to git well agin.”

“I've got the guts to die. What I want to know is, have you got the guts to live?”

“If you don't have something you think you need, maybe it's because God wants you to see something you've never seen.”

“When your time is up, your time is up, and you've just got to pray to God that you've done something worthwhile with your life.”

“I sat on my bed and I said to God: You've taken her, but you haven't got me yet. I know Your cunning. It's You who take us up to a high place and offer us the whole universe. You're a devil, God, tempting us to leap. But I don't want Your peace and I don't want Your love. I wanted something very simple and very easy: I wanted Sarah for a lifetime and You took her away. With Your great schemes You ruin our happiness like a harvester ruins a mouse's nest: I hate You, God, I hate You as though You existed.”

“If you are too careful about taking risks, you end up not doing anything. If you don’t want to take any responsibilities, again you end up doing nothing in life. Transhumanists are the ones who actually want to take risks and want to take responsibilities. And that’s what we are doing!”

“Maybe if God gives you a handicap, he makes sure you've got a few extra doses of humor to take the edge off.”

“He was the only boy I'd found worth dating in God knows how many schools. I mean, ever since he'd been bitten by a werwulf he'd been rock-steady. The best thing about this totally effed-up situation.”
