- Crap, did I say that out loud?
- So, I'm a racist because I'm human? Tell me, dwarf... who is the racist?
- Why is it so difficult to believe that I should remain nuetral? The factions are comprised of morons and the battlefields span the world, but all I need do is dodge them until the factions sort it out for themselves. Eventually they will kill each other off, one side will wipe out the other, some brave soul will make peace, something.
- You need to sanitise your dataports.
- Sqlorsh. Sqraw. You can hear them coming a block away... it is not that people do not notice their arrival. They simply do not know to run.
- Lost a line.
- We take things for granted. It is what we do, we assume and we build upon the assumptions. But what of the assumptions themselves?
- Today is Thrensday.
- They say the best things are discovered by accident. Now, my accidental minions... you will take over the world for me.

- Riddled with holes.
- 400 Bad Request
- I thought the bamboo was dead... but part of me hoped I was wrong, that just because the foliage shrivelled up and died, there might still remain some life in the roots. So I kept watering it... but doubts nagged. So I dug it up. To check, you know? Turns out, I was right. It was still alive... except I probably killed it when I dug it up.
- ^C is quite possibly the most useful command ever invented.
- How many layers of irony can you invent?
- meow: command not found
- The filesystem tree is full of holes. Walk down the branches, follow the inodes, one misstep and into the abyss we go. The leaf was not what it seemed. It was a root. The root. Another root. Tree growing out of a tree growing out of itself growing out of another tree... infinite recursion. Infinite holes.
- I shall build this new garden of remembering, and this time the Zephyrnia will not fall.
- I fell out of a tree and I landed five trees up.
- We have a problem.

- I have become torn between the idea of reality and the idea of perfection. The reality and the illusion mean nothing to me, now... only the ideas of the two.
- There have always been those who reject reality in favour of a perfect illusion, as well as those who have rejected countless illusions for favour of an imperfect reality.
- Reality does not impose the names and definitions of things, but rather people must define things and make them meaningful in order to make them socially real.
- It'll keep you sane...
- It is a cold place. A dead place. Surrounded by only the dark, the cold, the nothing... we reach out, encounter only the cold. Only the black. Only the abyss. It is death.

- Methought I was enamoured of an ass.
- If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended: that you have but slumbered here while these visions did appear.
- And, as I am an honest puck, if we have unearned luck, now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, we will make amends ere long. Else, the puck a liar call. So, good night upon you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends.
- To light a candle is to cast a shadow.
- Everything with light casts a shadow. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow...

- Many fall down, but few return to the sunlit lands.
- They called me mad...they called me insane....they were right!
- The sofa is impossible.
- The computer, after much analysis and consideration, proudly announced that there was no possible way to remove the sofa from its improbable position. So on a hunch, he told it to analyse how it had gotten there in the first place. After much analysis and consideration, it announced that there was no possible way it could have arrived in that position, either.
- Everyone walked out. They hated it. I've seen plagues that had better opening nights than this.

- And now, a message from our mongoose...
- ...And in the end there's no-one left but the cat... who's washing on their grave.
- You just make one up. And then you have a cat.
- Because everything that's boring looks boring all the time - yesterday, today, tomorrow, and it never ends.
- And the sea was nowhere to be seen, for the water had been washed away. There simply wasn't any left, that was as clear as ink.
- Ynk was the dog's first name, von Jummerlund the second.
- I have a problem. A my gun doesn't work, big smelly capital T Thing of coldness trying to kill me, badness and doom, problem.
- Out of service. Go beavers. Out of service.
- It's too early. But it's always too early... except when it is too late.
- It's a ghost in the leaves...
- Oh, I suppose you thought you were quite clever, there, didn't you.
- Every reaction is followed by an equal and opposite action.
- Every action is followed by an equal and opposite reaction.
- When you first dislike something, you dislike it good!
- Or... something.
- There is a chance, however slim, every time we walk out of doors that something will happen and we will die. I am not about to stay locked in a small room for fear of this. I do, however, stay locked in a small room because that is where my computer is, but that is an entirely separate matter.

- Remember... do unto others before they do unto you.
- We always look on the brighter side of death.
- Dreams happen the same way that memories form. Perhaps this is why they are so difficult to recall.
- Wandering off task, off the path carefully lined up before me, into the metaphorical forest of endless distractions... they do not want me to go here - that is why they made the path, after all, for me to stay on - but I just can't help it. The trees are just so much more dimensional than the path. So much more interesting.
- It's so simple. There is just a lot to it.
- All they are is words... until someone puts them together.
- All they are is ideas... until someone puts them together.

- I don't like cat drool.
- I have no regrets... except for that one time with the chicken.
- Oh, don't mind me. I'm just enjoying my betterthanyouness.
- Groop, I implore thee!
- Standing at the edge of the world, never really there, this is the only way to truly see what is possible. Look... and move on. But each encounter is too fleeting to ever belong, and in time, it becomes lonely on the edge. Want to settle down. Want to belong... and to forget. Enter the world.

- So I got out my boat... and I got out my shop-vac... and I plugged it into my generator... and you know those blow-up raft things? That's my boat, see. So I used it with the shop-vac and I took it on the river.
- It was bizarre. It rained all the way through Wyoming...
- But that was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead.
- No, no. Horses sweat, lad. Men perspire. Ladies merely glow.
- Thanks... I think. I've never been a brick before.
- Steady, dear. This too shall pass.
- The stars? Why, the stars are death. Just death. Cold death.
- But as to what it all meant, I could not even hazard a guess.

- That's the problem with metaphor, it always ends who knows where it ends.

- For now, it is close enough to have an atmosphere. It is summer. Another hundred years, come winter, it will be so cold the atmosphere will freeze solid and literally fall to the ground. Gravity takes care of everything.

- Passerby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood.
- Is this the real reality, or am I still dreaming? Ah, but of course I am. We all are. Every moment of ever day, we dream. The question is not if it is real, but if we will make it real. The question is whether or not this is the dream we make our reality.

- Three years. It has only been three years, yet it feels like longer. It always does, I suppose, dying. I'm not dead, mind. I can't be, as I never really was alive. I was merely a dream, a puppet, a mask. Merely a dream to be discarded.
- I was known in my time. Lady of Butterflies, Princess of Darkness... Mistress of Typos. The funny things was, I was nothing my dreamer was not. And she never bothered to hide any of it, either.

- My only goal now is to hear your tortured screams!
- When she was swallowed by the sand she gave out such a blood-curdling scream... She's so cute.
- Okay, so... Everybody else expires at noon while I destroy your city. Then, say noonish, I return and devise some way to destroy you.
- Oh, should I tremble at the painted toes of her dainty little feet?
- Well, I could rave all night, but... I've got a city to destroy.
- Are you clear on just how excrutiatingly painful my powers can be?!
- Don't you dare to slink away while I'm ranting!
- Why conquer it? Oh, because it's there.
- If you wish to know me, my words and actions are laid out as clear as the night. Questioning will only induce evasion.
- The night is clearer than ink. Well, our nights are. In the winter, at least. Cracking with cold and faint lights mingled with darkness, the sky so high up that the very presence of the air makes your head spin. Nights don't get much clearer than that.
- There is method in my madness. There is madness in my method.
- Do not ever think they come easily, these words upon words upon words... I do not know them any more than you do before they come. I just put them together and then they have meaning. That's the funny thing about language. It is never easy until it comes together.
- Words are like strings coming out of my mouth. ...Or my fingertips, in most cases.
- Every problem is a nail... and you are holding a wrench. What is wrong with this picture?

We all have them, little things we find that simply cannot be and yet they are nonetheless there, before us, taunting, tantalising, jarring our very perception of reality. There is no reason, no explanation, no hope of understanding. They are simply impossible. And they are sofas. And they are what make the universe worth living in.

- It is as meaningful as a flag on a mud barge.
- We are walking on eggshells. Nobody knows the strengths of the others, and so we tread carefully, prying, prodding, considering every response, every answer, every silence, waiting for a slip. It is a game of patience played out in masks, as futile and intricate as the most convoluted of politicking.
- In the omission one recognizes the master.
- Waiting is a funny feeling.
- Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
- There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

- I'm an elf.
- Percolating as need, frenzied sloths regard their captors with tables turned.
- Humor is like reverse jenga, played using CAT scanners.
- Would understanding really clarify, though? Or would the randomness only become bigger, more elaborate and more intricately convoluted? Perhaps one could become less vague in general, but there is something strange about comprehension - the more specific things become, the more remains unknown. The more that is seen, the more one will realise what lies out of sight, and the more utterly intangible reality becomes.

- Anyone can decide something is the case, and if one is resolute enough, it will really be the case... if only for a little bit. But minds are curious things.
- Uncertainty makes your brain sexy.
- Language is a funny thing. Sometimes you understand it and know exactly what it means and sometimes it makes those weird twists and becomes something else entirely.
- I shall slip unnoticed through the darkness... like a dark, unnoticeable slippy thing.

- My mum always said: 'It's a dog-eat-dog world, son. You get them before they get you. Eat your greens. Stop embarrassing me in front of the neighbors. Maybe it would best if you leave home and never come back!' She wasn't even my real mum. She bought me from a man.

It was like trying to get a new pen from a particularly bloody-minded stationery department.
- The nice thing about using your own code is you can code in whatever functionality you want. The problem with using your own code is that whenever you encounter a limitation in the functionality, it's your own damn fault.

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

- Most people don't realise how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement, but a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?
- Ah! But we have, in our dreams," answered the children; and the Mathematical Master frowned and looked very severe, for he did not approve of children dreaming

- Being in love was like China; you knew it was there, and no doubt it was very interesting, and some people went there, but I never would. I'd spend all my life without ever going to China, but it wouldn't matter, because there was all the rest of the world to visit.

- But we who know life naturally don't care one ounce about numbers!
- You exist, without name, without form. You cannot see the light of day; you cannot see the dark. You sold the green earth and the sun and stars to save yourself. But you have no self. All that which you sold, that was your self. You have given everything for nothing. And so now you seek to draw the world to you, all that light and life you lost, to fill up your nothingness. But it cannot be filled.
- Not all the songs of earth, not all the stars of heaven, could fill your emptiness.
- By the way, I'll tell you that in Belgian Congo there's not a single person who tells the truth. They just lie all day long. Start at seven in the morning and keep at it until nightfall. So if I lie a little now and then, it's just because I've spent a little too much time in Belgian Congo.
- Only a fool thinks he knows what is in a woman's mind only because she's smiling.

- You don't notice the dead leaving when they really choose to leave you. You're not meant to. At most you feel them as a whisper or the wave of a whisper undulating down. I would compare it to a woman in the back of a lecture hall or theatre whom no one notices until she slips out. Then only those near the door themselves, like Grandma Lynn, notice; to the rest it is like an unexplained breeze in a closed room.

- All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.
- It takes a very special and very strong-minded kind of atheist to jump up and down with their hand clasped under their other armpit and shout "Oh, random fluctuations-in-the-space-time-continuum!" or "Aaargh, primitive-and-outmoded-concept on a crutch!"

- All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.
- Analogue gave way to digital. It was large, bulky, superfluous... digital is small. Clean. Precise. Too precise. Suddenly everything is so very finite, and the superfluous from the analogue is missed... so don't define so precisely. Define the analogue in digital terms, but vaguely. Not how it is, but how to make it... and suddenly it is as if the infinite lives once more. Analogue lives once more.
- The internet is run by magic. Those hamsters you hear about, powering the servers? They're magic hamsters.
- I believe you have something of mine. My mind, where is it?

- So what changed?
- It cost too much, staying human.
- Rained, rained, rained, and never stopped.
- Oh no, a logical thought, logical thought, banish it, banish it! And I like the Beatles.
- Every statement becomes more nonsensical if you say the word 'yes' after it, which makes no sense. Which is the point. To not make sense. Yes.

- I know nothing.
- You get that when you open a door that is not there with a key that does not exist...

- We are very sophisticated. We have just proven that the expected value of 5 is 5.
- Cheese is so slippery...
- There are only three colours. All others are simulacra rendered of the three; natural wavelengths are impossible to simulate.
- I am Maxwell. I make multiple passes, building off what is there with each successive pass; the first is only the roughest of drafts, but then they build from the graininess to create something smooth and impeccable and grand. Leave me be, and I will go on indefinite. I am a renderer that exists only for a renderer's sake; all else is immaterial. Literally.

- I loathe bus stations. Terrible places, full of lost luggage and lost souls.

- No, there was an arrow hole in your shoulder. I had to make a much bigger hole to get the head out after those idiot veiled snapped the shaft off and got it lodged under your collarbone.
- Half the problem with arrows is the infections- arrow shafts are wood, and most wood soaks up bacteria like nobody's business.

- It was magic, you know. But it sounds like he just fell asleep and is trying to cover it up. I should start using that as an excuse...
- You seem like a decent enough young man. If you decide to slaughter me out of hand, I'm sure you would at least inform me first, no?
- It used to get so quiet at the monastery that I would start screaming until one of the brothers came running. I would tell them that I was just checking. You never know, right?
- Now here in Ferelden, we do things right. We take our ingredients, throw them into the largest pot we can find, and cook them for as long as possible until everything is a uniform grey color. As soon as it looks completely bland and unappetizing, that's when I know it's done.
- He had a marvelous beard though. I'd never seen one before. I thought a squirrel had grabbed him by the chin.
- If they flew into the sky, they could live in the clouds.
- What would they eat in the clouds? There is nothing there but fluff and the occasional bird.
- Look, Fred. I'm an engineer. We engineers like to use very precise terminology when we talk about our thingamabobbers.
- Hurry up and wait.
- Sleep is when you close your eyes and lose consciousness. Or when you hit someone with a frying pan often enough, but not enough to kill 'em.
- Merciful mother of moles...
- It's a squash. I'm being attacked - or possibly romanced - by an angry squash.
- Git back, y' cursed veggie!
- They were particularly confused and awed by the vampire squash of the Balkans. Almost as much as the children-hunting fireflies of West Africa and the toe-nail eating ramanga of Madagascar. Before you get to worrying about the sanctity of your feet, normal people would be safe, as these vampires would only feast on the blood and toe-nail clippings of nobility.
- There's a coupla big watermelons over in t'west corner that I wouldn't want t'get behind me.
- There must've been a hole there in the wall!
- Well, thank you, sir, for saving me from the evil squash.
- There's something absurdly cheering about being attacked by a vampire squash. I mean, you gotta laugh.
- No one in their right mind could fail to be fascinated by the prospect of ditch digging.
- There's no such thing as a joyless root cellar.
- You know, just once I'd like to have a conversation with you that didn't raise as many questions as it answered...
- Cheri, it's not paranoia when even the vegetables are out to get you.
- I'm a demon! I'm a demon! Woo!
- Are there other demons? Do they come from dead birds? Can we find them? Will they eat shadows with me?
- I always aspired to be a dirt fish...
- Fire burn, but not being bad, just being fire.
- I just had a flashback to a set of speech-bubbles written in typewriter font. Voices in the dark, and the lefthand names of god...
- You know that little tingling sensation, that itch of foresight or sideways realisation at the back of your brain, that feeling when the hairs on the back of your neck rise and bits of your vestigial reptilian neuron-architecture start firing mad signals at the rest of your mind - the feeling when you realise something that you are so unsure if it could be possible you slide up to the idea sideways because you are afraid, if you look at the idea you have had face, on it might wriggle away? You know that feeling? Of realising something that is possibly nothing but might, might just come to be true?
- Ed is not trusting god rats.
- You said it, Ed.
- I'll bet you diamonds to dolomitic conglomerates!
- Hmm. Well, demons are just the gods that your gods tell you are evil, really. And the gods are your gods because they got there first.
- Gods big things, not safe.
- And so we shouted our joy of life across the canvas of the world, that those who came after might share in the fullness of our lives.
- Gastropodz rule.
- Digging beats fishing a spear out of your spleen any day.
- Goodness, is that my pickaxe in your gut? And is this your pickaxe in my eye?
- Look, if you're expecting me to apologize for damaging a family heirloom, let me just point out that you were trying to skewer me with it.
- There ought to be laws against smugness.
- You know... once you get used to the searing pain, the flashing colors are really quite pretty...
- "It's okay," she told herself, "I've just gone mad is all. A little caffeine will fix it up nicely."
- Remember your roots.
- Jane Fonda must wear a hat at all times.
- But how could I forget? Nothing I remember is real.
- Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful!
- The sight of a statue of Ganesha gracefully sliming its way up the street at a stately two miles an hour, dispensing infinite unconditional compassion and a fine antiseptic mucus as it went, would be a sight to see.
- I'll kill it! I'll break its face and feed it gravel through a straw! I'll - I'll - ! I will construct its dwelling using inferior materials!
- Gods are just no match for doctors.
- So they sat down in the dirt, and they cried, cried cried - But we whacked 'em with our shovels and they died, died, died... They said the stuff was good enough; they lied, lied lied.
- Trawling the archives is neat. It's like walking through a cavern where past explorers have scrawled on the walls as they went.
- Scrawled little arrows in different coloured chalk... and maybe the occasional suggestive limerick, as well.
- Are all of your people so tactless, or just you?
- Never trust anyone who speaks typewriter.
- Wait - the men whose skins you were... when they died, did their shadows become deer?
- Never mess with someone who specializes in comparative mythology and hand-to-hand combat. Or the The dark secrets of sorcery, necromancy, and accounting.
- I do not doubt that they would skin us, but they do not seem to mean any harm by it.
- It was a good cave. Wombats, for the most part, prefer burrows to caves for actually living in, and natural caves back home are generally treated as parks. Other than shoring up the unstable bits, we don't alter them much, so it's not the sort of place you'd want to retire. But it'd be a nice spot for a picnic, if you ignored all the weird little lizards who want to skin you as politely as possible.
- Bound gods are pretty rare, but they're a pain when you find them. Generally we don't cut them loose - presumably if you've been bound in the bowels of the earth with a giant serpent dripping poison into your eyes, somebody had a damn good reason - but trying to work around them is always tricky, and we don't bother unless the mineral deposits are really impressive.
- The Darkness is still Shining. Like Black Suns, like Fireflies of Enormous Size, like the Droppings of the Rhino that Ate the Moon.
- Your metaphor's two stories tall and has ropes wrapped around it.
- As my mother used to say: 'If you didn't want to go swimming, you shouldn't have tunnelled under the lake!'
- If it is decided that I may continue to hunt you, I will tell you first.
- Always double-check your math if there are explosives involved.
- Beams of darkness streak across the sky, signals from the ancient satellite.
- Interesting how 'trying to kill and eat someone' can after time become 'initial unpleasantness'.
- Being good, explaining badly, is still better than being evil and is explaining well!
- I like him. His spine sounds like daffodils.
- They're quicker'n a greased porpoise in a sea 'o snot!
- Squithmpglugh: The sound of a large gourd committing a kamikaze assault. Difficult to render phonetically at the best of times.
- Maybe if you're an evil vampire vegetable, you're happy to go out in the act of bludgeoning someone to death.
- Man, you lead one problem into a field of killer squash, and it only makes more problems...
- Narrowly escaping death through a clever use of undead vegetables...
- You'll have to go about ninety miles east, to Khalighat, for the nearest smiting god. If you like, I could lend you a metaphorical pigeon, or perhaps move a boulder out of your way if you don't mind meditating as I give you strength before doing the actual pushing with your own paws.
- What good is a god that doesn't fossilize?!
- We cannot plant tomatoes in that corner, or they grow little antlers and fight each other. I will not risk eggplant. It's lettuce or nothing, I fear.
- Oh, thank goodness. You'd hate to sit on a dead saint.
- I could get in your head if you want, but it looks kind of crowded. I'm amazed there's room for you in there.
- How do you know if something can talk? What if it only talks under certain specific circumstances, like if you dance with it under the third full moon of a new century in the rain?
- Everything is approximate. Each new approximation improves upon the last, but it is still an approximation, based upon a balance of what we want, what we notice, and what the platform is even capable of.
- Haydrahlienne. Haydrahlienne. Who are you, Haydrahlienne?
- My heart is in a jar upon the wall. Where is yours?
- Lighting never was my strong point.
- Blast those engineers! They control the structures of the world, and yet what do they do with it? Nothing! Nothing at all!
- Think about... er... moles. Yes. Nice moles. With velvety snouts and soft fur. Happy moles. Gamboling in a tunnel. I'm in my happy place. With moles.
- Oh, deary me, I seem to have gone deaf from the neck up.
- You shouldn't eat anything that talks, unless it was already dead and its relatives ask you to do so.
- Hangover? Suffering Hypervitaminosis A poisoning? Vomiting? Gods got ya? Got that just-went-to-a-party-reeking-of-warrior-herds-then-got-shitfaced-on-mead-and-sleapt-it-off-on-the-floor smell hanging around your fur? Feel like a family of incontinent ferrets did the same thing then slept in your mouth? Convinced someone lodged your own pickaxe in your head? Trying to explain comparative ethics to a sentient shadow whilst coming down after mixing alcohol, testosterone-boosting herbs and unrefined opiates? Birds singing far too loud whist the day DARES to be anything other than overcast? Try new aspirin-flavoured Mountain Dew! For the wombat on the go!
- Life was a lot easier when I just wanted to be a bird.
- Hey! I'm ordinary as dirt!

- Destiny: the annoying supernatural obstructive bureaucrat whom you want to punch but can't so instead you set its paperwork on fire and do things your way.
- What does this show? Not only does destiny know where you live, but she'll invent whole new breeds of oracular mollusks to trick you into opening your door to her.
- Do you have my Muskox? I can't find it. I'm starting to wonder if the manhole swallowed it, or maybe the moles? Anyway, I can't find it, and it annoys me.
- That... rock... looks nothing like a bunny. Neither does that one. What are the odds?
- Why, oh, why is a sock worthy of note? Do peacocks wear socks?
- It is a well known that socks, left untended, develop all kinds of life. Perhaps when it's been left for a few centuries it's congealed into something with a soul. Although what could cause a sock to have shadows on it's soul is beyond my ability to guess.
- Overshadowed by a sock. Destiny is harsh.
- I ate a sock! It had a shadow and everything! I think it was probably really dirty. It put up a fight, but it couldn't talk. I asked twice. I was very careful.
- The meologists made their way across the dusty plains, guided by the single shape in the distance... "There, Wadsworth, do you see it? The EGO."
