This morning, at exactly 5:18 AM , here at Ikon's Institute for Data Analysis, we installed the final module of the artificial intelligence system, which we call Proteus 4. Today, a new dimension has been added to the concept of the computer. Today, Proteus 4 will begin to think.And it will think with a power and precision that will make obsolete many of the functions of the human brain."

• "Listen, listen, my name is Harry Call. Can you hear me? Don't be afraid. I know you don't know who I am, but I know you. There isn't much to say about myself. I...I was very sick when I was a boy, I was paralyzed in my left arm and my left leg. I couldn't walk for six months. One doctor said that I would probably never walk again. My mother...my mother used to lower me into a hot bath. It was therapy. One time the door bell rang, and she went down to answer. I started sliding down. I could feel the water. It started to come into my chin and into my nose. And when I woke up, my body was all greasy from the holy oil she used to put on my body. I remember being disappointed I survived. When I was five, my father took me to a friend of his, and for no reason at all I hit him right in the stomach. with all my strength. He died a year later. He'll kill you if he gets a chance. I'm not afraid of death. I am afraid of murder."

The Sonology of Sex; Buried Dreams

• * "I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm so deeply puzzled. I've done terrible things, I've killed three people. I don't consider myself a terrible man... no more than others. She had become ... hysterical, and she started screaming. I guess I hit her. I don't actually recall, it all happened so quickly. I heard her screaming. But I never understood really why she did that, she had never screamed before. Just want me to keep on talking, don't you? Make a man think he's accepted, it's all a great big game to you. You're all obviously too lazy, too warped to do anything meaningful with your life, than prey upon the sexual fantasies of others. Should come to no great suprise to you, when I say that there are little corners in everyone, which were better off left alone, sicknesses, weaknesses, which should never be exposed. Both, that's your stock and trade, isn't it... a man's weakness. I was never really fully aware of mine, until you brought them out."
