I know the names of every intelligent being, the spots on the wings of every butterfly that broke out of a cocoon, the genetic codes of the simplest and most complex of creatures. I know how suns functioned, how worlds formed, how life evolved. All of the secrets of the old universes are mine. They can be yours too, if you want me to share, though I suspect you aren't bothered.

The quote reflects an immense depth of knowledge possessed by a character, who claims mastery over the intricacies of life and the universe. This being professes to understand the genetic makeup of all creatures, the mechanics of celestial bodies, and even the mysteries of existence itself. It highlights a profound awareness of the interconnectedness of all life forms and cosmic phenomena, suggesting a blend of scientific understanding and philosophical wisdom.

Additionally, the speaker offers this knowledge to others, indicating a sense of inclusivity and a willingness to share insights. However, there is a hint of skepticism about whether others truly seek or value this information, implying a disconnect between those who are enlightened and those who may remain indifferent. This ambiguous relationship between knowledge and desire for understanding raises questions about the nature of wisdom and the human pursuit of meaning.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

Travel far enough, you meet yourself.

The pollenless trees were genomed to repel bugs and birds; the stagnant air reeked of insecticide.

But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.
