1 " And does Alan have a last name?" I asked."Probably," said Curtis, "but we have a 'if you have to ask, you don't need to know because I don't want to friend you on Facebook' policy. "
― Aldous Mercer , The Prince and the Program (The Mordred Saga, #1)
2 " Fuck," he said. I couldn't have put it better myself. "
3 " There is no Demon addiction, no lie, no distance between you and I here. And I am telling you, I will spend the rest of eternity looking for you, and I will find you, wherever you are reborn."(Mordred) "
4 " That's the tragedy of creatures," I agreed. Mine too, if it comes to that. "We spend so long looking for our 'soulmates' or becoming 'one with our higher self'. But all this time the one true love has already happened. We don't remember because there was no mechanism to form a memory in the before-time, but we are its product." (Mordred) "
5 " This planet is hurting my ability to judge people."(Mordred) "
6 " Devil's got my number. "
7 " Your perspective makes me weak," I said."Reason always does," he replied. "
8 " <@mori>: My flatmate is addicted to Japanese Cartoons. I can feel neurons dying every time it turns on the TV.<@alan>: It? That's a curious way to refer to a person.<@mori>: Perfectly acceptable, for a certain type of flatmate.<@alan>: I'll make a note of the usage-fascination. "
9 " He laughed, a sinister sound that made some of the people outside the restaurant shudder without knowing why. "
10 " I rose to my feet and extended my hand."Mr.Vijayagopalan," I said."Please," he said, shaking my hand with both of his, "call me Ramsaundarm. "
11 " There weren't enough espresso in the world to wash the sour taste of betrayal out of my mouth. "
12 " A minute and a half on my knees in front of the sub-basement door, and I heard a satisfying click as the lock shifted."Damn," said Josephine, "where did you learn how to do that?""MIT lockpicking guide. "
13 " It's AMAZING what one can find on Google Images with safe search off....UPLOAD horse_cock1.jpgUPLOAD horse_cock2.jpgUPLOAD horse_cock3.jpgUPLOAD horse_cock4.jpg.... "
14 " If you had the choice, my dear, between a guarantee of obtaining your deepest desire and a vague, vanishingly small probability of love, what would you choose?""The two are the same. "
15 " Betrayal and love are not mutually exclusive." (Mordred) "
16 " I don't think she quite understands what was truly going on. Things are very binary for her - all this talk of love confuses her." (Alan) "
17 " It hurts, being human," I agreed sagely."Wouldn't wish that on anyone. Wouldn't want to give it up."(Mordred) "
18 " Gravity set the path of the Sun at the moment this Universe was born. The moon was set to spin the day it was cleaved from the Earth. Once divisions are made, they cannot be summed. The sea is not a courtesan, to be fascinated by false magnetism. Mountains had names long before men dared to climb them. All power flows as a river, even, close-held, the power within people. "
19 " Sweet gods of darkness, what have I been reduced to? A twenty-something human thinks he can "cast-spells over beers" with me? (Mordred) "
20 " Leave me alone. I locked the door for a reason." Guaranteed solitude? Soothing porn? Did it matter? "
