Libba Bray Going Bovine

Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 338

“Here is our favorite equation: Us plus Them equals All of Us. It is very simple math. Try it sometime.”

Libba Bray Going Bovine

Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 428
Kontextus: In our travels, we have come across many equations — math for understanding the universe, for making music, for mapping stars, and also for tipping, which is important. Here is our favorite equation: Us plus Them equals All of Us. It is very simple math. Try it sometime. You probably won’t even need a pencil.

“People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really.”

Libba Bray Going Bovine

Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 178
Kontextus: People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really. I mean, maybe they know things about them, like they won’t eat doughnuts or they like action movies or whatever. But they don’t know what their friends do in their rooms alone at night or what happened to them when they were kids or if they feel fucked up and sad for no reason at all.

“My favorite word is "redemption." I like both its meaning and the sound.”

Libba Bray Going Bovine

Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 389
Kontextus: Marisol does a silly dance with Balder and the screw, one in each hand, so that nobody gets the idea that she takes tins — or anything else, for that matter — seriously. And just like that, something in the cosmos shifts. A butterfly flaps its wings in South America. Snow falls in Chicago. You give an idiot a stupid magic screw and it turns out to be a necessary part after all.

“You’ve been assigned an identity since birth.”

Libba Bray Going Bovine

Forrás: Going Bovine (2009), p. 253
Kontextus: You’ve been assigned an identity since birth. Then you spend the rest of your life walking around in it to see if it really fits. You try on all these different selves and abandon just as many. But really it’s about dismantling all that false armor, getting down to what’s real.

“But we can't go back. We can only go forward.”

Libba Bray A Great and Terrible Beauty

Változat: One can never go back. One always has to move forward.
Forrás: A Great and Terrible Beauty
