Y si serás una cosa, y no la otra, será porque, a pesar de todo, tendrás que elegir

La gente no habla de nada. [...] Citan una serie de automóviles, de ropa o de piscinas y dicen que es estupendo. Pero todos dicen lo mismo y nadie tiene una idea original. Y en los cafés, la mayoría de las veces funcionan las máquinas de chistes, siempre los mismos, o la pared musical encendida y todas las combinaciones coloreadas suben y bajan, pero solo se trata de colores y dibujo abstracto. Y en los museos... ¿Has estado en ellos? Todo es abstracto. Es lo único que hay ahora.

Soy Porter, Zara Porter

Zara Porter en otra aburrida reunión. Zara Porter bosteza y juguetea con sus uñas burdeos oscuro, astilladas por el borde. Pasea la mirada por la pared desconchada, y acaba volviendo a sus uñas. Luego raspa la mancha de café en la media con desgana y vuelve los ojos hacia el infinito.
Las vistas no impresionan a Zara Porter. El balcón se abre hacia la autopista, que aparece vacía y extraña. El hombre del traje oscuro arquea las cejas frente a ella, y finalmente sonríe. Cree ser el objeto de atención de ella. Más tarde, nadie tratará de enderezar el malentendido. La compañía suele ganar nuevos clientes casi siempre gracias a su talento.

One Last Thing

Because they have been so abused and ignored by society, many geeks have gone underground. You may actually know some and just haven't noticed them. They often feel resentful, and misunderstood, and it is important to realize this as you grow closer to them. Don't ever try to force the issue, or make crazy demands that he choose between his computer and you. Remember, his computer has been there for him his whole life; you are a new interloper he hasn't quite grasped yet.

Things they fail, they fade

"You would be using the reincarnation, ufos, and god past, which does not exist, to confirm something else from the past. And if you repeat the process a thousand times, with a thousand different pieces of evidence, together they would still be nothing but impressions of the past supporting other impressions of the past.”
“That’s just mental gymnastics. You’re playing with words,” I said.
“An insane person believes his world is consistent. If he believes the government is trying to kill him, he will see ample evidence of his belief in the so-called real world. He will be wrong, but his evidence is no better or worse than your evidence that it rained this morning. Both of you will be converting evidence of the present into impressions stored in your minds and you will both be certain your evidence is solid and irrefutable. Your mind will mold the facts and shape the clues until it all fits.”
