The apocalypse is now! americans know this, that the only hope is the flying saucers. do you know how i see the world? like a person who is dying. it's a worm who is dying to make a butterfly. we must not stop the worm from dying, we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born. we need to dance with death. this world is dying, but very well. we will make a big, big enormous butterfly. you and i will be the first movements in the wings of the butterfly because we are speaking like this.

If man makes himself a worm he must not complain when he is trodden on.

Does he think to scare me? arya kissed him where his nose should be and plucked the grave worm from his eye to eat it, but it melted like a shadow in her hand. the yellow skull was melting too, and the kindliest old man that she had ever seen was smiling down on her. "no one has ever tried to eat my worm before," he said. "are you hungry, child?" yes, she thought, but not for food.

The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. his acts, step by step, are in hard substance. he cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. he cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers. he cannot, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. he cannot, like the politicians, screen his shortcomings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget. the engineer simply cannot deny he did it. if his works do not work, he is damned.

The silk worm i stood before a silk worm one day. and that night my heart said to me, "i can do things like that, i can spin skies, i can be woven into love that can bring warmth to people; i can be soft against a crying face, i can be wings that lift, and i can travel on my thousand feet throughout the earth, my sacs filled with the sacred." and i replied to my heart, "dear, can you really do all those things?" and it just nodded "yes" in silence. so we began and will never cease.
Love Heart Night
Something that had been a single cell, a cluster of cells, a little sac of tissue, a kind of worm, a potential fish with gills, stirred in her womb and would one day become a man--a grown man, suffering and enjoying, loving and hating, thinking, remembering, imagining. and what had been a blob of jelly within her body would invent a god and worship; what had been a kind of fish would create, and, having created, would become the battleground of disputing good and evil; what had blindly lived in her as a parasitic worm would look at the stars, would listen to music, would read poetry.
