“Solomon, you will remember that although I agreed to ally myself and my coven with yours, that does not mean you have any semblance of authority over me. We have a truce, and I conduct my own actions as I see fit, whether that involves Becca or not.’
‘And you remember I will take your coven down the moment you step over the line,” Solomon hissed.” ~Solomon and Rekesh”

“Dar câte crisalide mor fără să ajungă la ultima fază, fără să spargă coconul, nelăsând să iasă fluturele din el! Anima, anima, sufleţel drag… Multicolor, sprinţar, efemer – şi minunat. Cât de multe fiinţe rămân însă larve până la moarte, fără să înţeleagă că n-o să ajungă niciodată la maturitate!”

“Te-ai făcut mai deştept în ultimul cincinal, frăţioare literat. Poţi să defineşti imago în cazul ăsta precis, adică să defineşti ce înseamnă o fiinţă matură? Care sunt criteriile pentru vârsta adultă?
Nu doar capacitatea de reproducere. Poate simţul responsabilităţii? Spiritul de independenţă? Gradul de conştiinţă?
— Criterii calitative, şi nu cantitative! Asta-i, zise Kolesnik. Uite la ce ajungi cu raţionamentul tău: iniţierea e un lucru greu de determinat, cât despre responsabilitate, cum o măsori? Şi după tine, o larvă umană se transformă în imago printr-un proces de iniţiere?
Viktor Iulievici insistă:
— Trăim într-o societate de larve, de oameni imaturi, de adolescenţi cu mască de adulţi, pricepi Mişka?”

“Ce sunt aripile? Terminațiile ascuțite și umede ale unui mecanism de zbor bine întocmit, vârâte în crăpătura membranei chitinoase. Aripa, eliberată din strânsoare, se întinde printr-o mișcare lungă, lină, se desface zvântându-se în aer, și iat-o pregătită pentru o primă zbatere. Cu o rețea de nervuri ca la libelulă sau membranoasă ca la fluturi, cu un desen al nervației complicat și desăvârșit, veche de când lumea și incapabilă să se plieze sau foarte nouă și pliindu-se rapid și sigur... Își ia zborul ființa înaripată lăsând pe pământ învelișul de chitină, sicriul ei gol și aerul nou îi umple plămânii noi, și o muzică nouă îi răsună în organul auzului, nou și perfecr alcătuit.”

“Onstage, Hendrix was trying to get a young couple to engage in a dialogue sequence. The pair sat in armchairs facing each other, and Hendrix old the man, Michael, to pay his wife of three months, Tara, a compliment.
'What I appreciate most about you is that you're a good cook,' Michael said.
'So what I'm hearing you saying is that you appreciate that I'm a good cook,' Tara said, She seemed bored.
To prompt Michael, Hendrix began, 'When I think about you as a good cook, I feel--'
'When I think about you as a good cook,' Michael said, 'I feel full, sleepy, and-- sexy.'
'Really?' asked Tara, a little annoyed. The woman sitting next to me groaned.
Hendrix jumped in, 'When I think about you as a good cook, it reminds me of... try to find something from your childhood.'
'When I think about you as a good cook, I--' Michael stopped, then started over. 'When the house smells good, it reminds me of home and when my mom cooked and I feel loved.'
Tara repeated him, her eyes now glassy with affection. Unprompted, she spoke the next line in the sequence: 'Is there anything more to that?' There wasn't. They hugged for sixty seconds as the rest of us watched. Hendrix told the crowd that the length of the average hug is three to nine seconds, but that a good hug, one that 'pushes the boundaries of relationship,' takes a whole minute.”

“Down the hall where free day care was being offered, children of parents in the workshops were likewise learning Imago dialogue, and I stopped in to watch. 'What I'm hearing you saying is my bike was in the driveway and you hurt your leg,' one second grader told another kid. 'Did I get that right?”
