• She is nine, beloved, as open-faced as the sky and as self-contained. I have watched her grow. As recently as three or four years ago, she had a young child's perfectly shallow receptiveness; she fitted into the world of time, it fitted into her, as thoughtlessly as sky fits its edges, or a river its banks.

Now she is aware of some of the losses you incur by being here--the extortionary rent you have to pay as long as you stay.

Todos los planos y órdenes de demolición han estado expuestos en tu departamento de urbanismo local en Alfa Centauri durante 50 de tus años terrestres, así que has tenido tiempo de sobra para presentar cualquier queja formal y es demasiado tarde para empezar a armar jaleo ahora... ¿Qué quieres decir con que nunca has estado en Alfa Centauri?
