• La música hechizaba el aire. Era como el viento del sur, como una noche cálida, como velas hinchadas bajo las estrellas, completa y absolutamente irreal... Lo hacía todo espacioso y colorido, la oscura corriente de la vida parecía palpitar en ella; ya no había cargas, ni límites; sólo existían la gloria y la melodía y el amor, de modo que uno simplemente no podía darse cuenta de que, al mismo tiempo que esta música, fuera reinaban la pobreza y el tormento y la desesperación.

• Un lunar tiene la forma del sol, que es un símbolo de la energía del mundo entero y de nuestra vida, y también la forma de la luna, que es la calma. Redondos, suaves, coloridos, sin sentido y sin conocimiento. Los lunares no pueden quedarse solos; como la vida comunicativa de las personas, dos o tres lunares se convierten en movimiento... Los lunares son un camino hacia el infinito.

• As a child, these colourful superheroes that could fly, or were horrifying like Ghost Rider and the Hulk, with this tremendous rage or these supernatural powers, provided an escape for me from my mundane existence, from my lack of friends or my inability to communicate well with people. They liberated me.

• I made it," you said, gruffly, "for you." You shoved it onto my finger. It was roughly carved, shaped from a lump of something colourful and cold...a ring made entirely from a gemstone. It was beautiful. It glinted emerald greens and blood reds over my skin, and had tiny flecks of gold catching the light. I couldn't stop staring at it. "Why?" I asked. You didn't answer that. Instead you touched the ring gently and looked piercingly at me, unsaid questions in your eyes.

• Also, I've spent an entire week without reading any books or talking about them too loudly. I'm learning to work my apparat's screen, the colourful pulsating mosaic of it, the fact that it knows every last stinking detail about the world, whereas my books only know the minds of their authors.

• Some critics thought the ontology and theory of qualities absurd. No one had ever seen these little atoms, and furthermore, how could their mere arrangement produce a noisy, colourful, world in which day followed night and animals generated their own kind? Instead of a world created, cared, for and supervised by supernatural persons, the Epicureans appeared to the theologians to be assigning everything to chance. The latter were appalled by Lucretius's view of religion as cruel and oppressive and by the Epicurean insistence that death is the end of all experience.
