The Little Book

Kleist: I am the intuitive one. I guess you'd say the one who jumps to conclusions and is a mortal annoyance to Schluessler and his rationalists because with no apparent reasoning I am more often right than not.

Wheeler: This city seems alive with it, reverberating in every nook and cranny. Echoing off every grand marble exterior.

Wheeler has lost track of time. He felt for another moment in his life that he was in that state of flow, connected to all things in the universe. It felt absolutely wonderful.

Flora: I very, very majorly do not believe in war, and now I am making the biggest sacrifice of my life for what I don't believe in.

Eleanor: I want you to carry with you this one thing. You carry my heart wth you. Always. Always, always, and always.

A child with a sinister future, one of mythic proportion, was the antithesis of Hannibal, Theseus, Oedipus and Joan of Arc, the heroic savior, one who was destined as an adult to pull the whole world into his hatred. How like the archetypal evil one he must have seemed, like the devil, the Antichrist, Beelzebub. " If man creates a perfect god," he would conjecture later, "man must create a perfect evil."

Arnauld: A cataclysm. It's all about politics. We should avoid politics and religion. They always seem to cause schisms.

Dilly: Who can you trust, if you can't trust a Boston bank?
