Aye, and Gomorrah Quotes

“You have to grow all the time," I said. "Not necessarily get bigger. But inside your head you have to grow, kid-boy. For us human-type people that's what's important. And that kind of growing never stops. At least it shouldn't. You can grow, kid-boy; or you can die. That's the choice you've got, and it goes on all of your life.”
― Samuel R. Delany, Aye, and Gomorrah

“I wanted to get out, Vyme, to keep going and not be trapped, to be free.... only I was cruel. I had the chance to do it, and I took it. Why is that bad, Vyme? Unless, of course, that's what being free means.”
― Samuel R. Delany, Aye, and Gomorrah
