“Perhaps man was neither good nor bad, was only a machine in an insensate universe--his courage no more than a reflex to danger, like the automatic jump at the pin-prick. Perhaps there were no virtues, unless jumping at pin-pricks was a virtue, and humanity only a mechanical donkey led on by the iron carrot of love, through the pointless treadmill of reproduction.”
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

“You don't have to eat the entire turd to know that it's not a crab cake.”
― Orson Scott Card, Shadow of the Hegemon
