->The Corviki audience understood the conflict of the two warring energy-groups, of the desire of the two new, but not shallow, entities to combine into a new force group, of the energy-stoking of herself as the Nurse, of the brilliant light of beta particles exchanged by the two new entities, swearing neutron coalitions and, finally, forced to expend the vital energy of their cores to bring the warring groups to the realization that co-existence was possible on their energy level.

->I took a few minutes to absorb what Toby had said about [''Literature/EndersGame''. «You have a problem with the ending, when Ender realizes that making war with the buggers was wrong. You think it’s ultimately anthropocentric, because Ender can only accept that the bugger queen is like him when he realizes that she keeps her dæmon on the inside.”\\

“Yes,” said Toby. “Having a dæmon or not is a totally human-centered way of deciding whether someone is worthy of moral consideration. I don’t think of myself as having a dæmon on the inside. I think of humans as having part of their minds on the outside.”

When you get to [[PhysicalGod that level of power and knowledge and perfection]], the question of what you should do next gets increasingly obvious. Everything is very rule-governed. All you can ever do in any given situation is the most gloriously perfect thing, and there's only one of them. Finally, there aren't any choices left to make.

->[[AnimalisticAbomination The Weaver]] thought in [[WordSaladHorror a continuous, incomprehensible, rolling stream of awareness]]. There were no layers to the Weaver's mind, there was no ego to control the lower functions, no animal cortex to keep the mind grounded. For the Weaver, there were no dreams at night, no hidden messages from the secret corners of the mind, no mental clearout of accrued garbage bespeaking an orderly consciousness. [[MadGod For the Weaver, dreams and consciousness were one]]. The Weaver dreamed of being conscious and its consciousness was its dream, in an endless unfathomable stew of image and desire and cognition and emotion.
