• Acceptable rules of conduct were suspended when it came to the spoon shortage. The deficit had gotten so bad that prices were all but unaffordable, and dynastic spoon succession had become a matter of considerable interest. Spoons were even postcode engraved and carried on one's person to eliminate theft, and good table manners, one of the eight pillars upon which the Collective was built, had been relaxed to allow tea to be stirred - shockingly - with the handle of a fork.

• Este breve siglo nuestro es posiblemente el más significativo de la historia de nuestro universo. Tendremos la tecnología para autodestruirnos o para sembrar nuestro cosmos de vida. La situación es tan inestable que dudo que podamos permanecer en esta encrucijada más de cien años. Pero si acabamos optando por la vida en lugar de la muerte, en un futuro lejano nuestro cosmos estará repleto de vida, y todo ello se deberá a lo que hagamos aquí y ahora. No sé cómo se nos considerará, pero estoy seguro de que no se nos recordará como insignificantes.
