hmm... ik heb het uit. Ik vond het ...niet een van de mooiste boeken die ik ooit las. (Ook niet de lelijkste ;-) Ik vond het een loshangend geheel. Al die verhalen met een vage link - en dat niet op z'n Mitchells, met iedere keer zo'n bevredigend 'aha' moment. Nee het was meer een kwestie van 'Eh, was dat nou de link of heb ik de naam verkeerd?' Ik kon er niet zo veel mee. Desalniettemin, heb ik best veel geëzeloord.

Nobody's ever come back from the other world and told us what it's like, that world. Maybe that's what it was invented for, to make man fear punishment [...] Maybe there's no punishment at all, but the fear itself is a punishment while you're alive. Now that they've flown up into space, photographed the moon and the other planets, and didn't find any other world, there's less fear. And less fear means more
sin.

Politics is the result of human weakness. A thinking person does not need to be led;he will never use his freedom to take away the freedom of others. Some people are like that, but not many. There are others who'll immediately translate their freedom into lack of freedom for others, into violence and exploitation. Of course, there aren't many of them, either; they're simply better organized than the thinking people. The majority of people make up the unconscious or semiconscious masses, who don't understand how to use their freedom. They are easily fooled.
