Zoe loved Trancas's mother. She respected her exhausted and ironic hope for rebirth.

Заметьте, общаться друг с другом нам уже не хочется. Надоело. Нам подай инопланетянина, гуманоида, который, конечно же, будет тоньше и умнее этой грубой женщины под названием "свекровь" или того развязного продавца в грязном халате, которому мы не смеем сказать в лицо все, что думаем о нем, ибо от него зависим; или тех двух-трех наших начальников и десятка сослуживцев, с которыми мы каждый день бок о бок идем вперед к великой цели... Господи! Возьми нас на другую планету, где уже все построили, все преодолели... Скафандры, ядри их душу...

Майор не мог забыть анонимный подарок, обнаруженный им
однажды на рабочем столе в штабе. Это был кубик Рубика, все
элементы которого имели одинаковые красные нашлепки -- куда ни
вращай, никаких перемен!

He gave me a look of great contempt; as I supposed, for venturing, even by implication, to draw a parallel between a lack of affluence that might, literally, affect my purchase of rare vintages, and a figure of speech intended delicately to convey his own dire want for the bare necessities of life. He remained silent for several seconds, as if trying to make up his mind whether he could ever bring himself to speak to me again; and then said gruffly: 'I've got to go now.

Morning, Peter,” she calls
from the back, in her exaggerated German accent. Mawning, Pedder.
She’s been in the States more than fifteen years now, but her
accent has gotten heavier. Uta is a member of what seems to be a
growing body of defiantly unassimilated expatriates. She on one
hand disdains her country of origin (Darling, the word “lugubrious”
comes to mind) but on the other seems to grow more German (more
not-American) with every passing year.
...
Because Uta is German, utterly German, which of course is probably why she left
there, and insists that she’ll never go back.

...it’s just another one of those things I don’t understand: everyone impresses upon you how unique you are, encouraging you to cultivate your individuality while at the same time trying to squish you and everyone else into the same ridiculous mould. It’s an artist’s right to rebel against the world’s stupidity.

Democracy was supposed to champion freedom of speech, and yet the simple rules of table decorum could clamp down on the rights their forefathers had fought and died for.

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
