- Unknown: We should acknowledge the fact that the whole history of mankind is a story of a slow suicide commited by a living matter that by sheer accident acquired the abilty to think, but that did not know what to do with this fateful capacity. Full stop.
- Professor Larsen: Military reference books are now priceless in the black market because of their thick hard covers and natural paper pages. They produce a good heat output in autonomous heating systems. Now we have a different scheme for grading literature.
- Unknown: [Closing monologue] And on the sixth day from the beginning of the world's end Teresa led them to another place like the pastor prophesied. And she left them there and went away. And a man adopted them, a man with no name, like the pastor prophesied. And the eldest child wrote a note about it in his notebook, like the pastor taught. He wrote about everything that happened each and every day until the day of the great exodus. And it was so: On the Christmas day he gathered everyone around the tree and lit the candles. And he admonished them by saying: ''Remember: The world has not died.'' That was his exhortation. And he led them to watch for the first star. And he said, ''Look, o you shall see a star.'' But there were no stars in the sky, for the darkness took over the world. And when the night came, he lied down near the furnace and did not get up anymore. And he said, ''I will die soon.'' That's what he said. And then the eldest child came up to him and asked, ''Can I ask you a question? '' ''Go ahead'', he said. ''No'', said the eldest child, ''We know that people always tell lies and tell the truth only when they are dying. We will wait until you are dying.'' ''Ask away'', he said. ''It is time.'' And they all came up to him and looked into his eyes. And the eldest one asked, ''Have you told the truth today? Do you believe in what you said?'' ''Go'', he answered. ''Go while you have the strength. For while a man is on his way, there is still hope for him.''
- Unknown: This is what I say: I loved mankind. I love it even better now that it no longer exists.
