Look at me! I roar. Do you think you'll be the first I've killed today? I wasn't a murderer, but you changed me. I'm a monster now. And I'm hungry. Meera! Anotoine whines. Prae! Please, I beg you. You're civilised people. Help me! We can't, Prae says coldly. Even if we wanted to - and personally I have no problem with him gutting you - we couldn't. He's not ours to control. He's one of your specimens. You helped create him - now you have to deal with him

The quote reflects a character's transformation into a monster, suggesting that external influences have corrupted his nature. Initially, he identifies as non-violent but feels compelled to embrace a predatory instinct, signaling a significant psychological change due to external forces. This internal struggle highlights themes of identity and the effects of one's environment on personal morality.

The dialogue reveals a tension between characters, with Prae refusing to extend assistance to Anotoine. This emphasizes a moral dilemma, as the characters grapple with their responsibilities toward their creations. Prae's cold response underscores a harsh reality: once something is unleashed, its creators may be powerless to control it, forcing them to confront the consequences of their actions.

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.
by Mitch Albom
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?

Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

The nun said, I can forgive the language. I'm not sure I can forgive your making an obscene gesture at your mother. Ya gotta know her, Holland said. If you knew her, you'd give her the finger, too.

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.
