"You know... I loved being you. Back when I first started, at the very beginning, I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important, like you do when you're young... and then I was you! And it was all dashing about, playing cricket and my voice going all squeaky when I shouted..."

"Brother, you may have had a lifetime, but you haven't had a life since the day you put on that cloak. Life is about growing — growing older, growing wiser, growing closer to your loved ones. But you, you're frozen in time. You're the same angry kid who took that artifact off your master's corpse."

Garovel: And you are my little sister, aren't you?
Chergoa: Yeah, by like one year! One out of... how old are we again?
Garovel: Three thousand something, I think.
Chergoa: See? You don't even know.
Garovel: Don't need to. Even if you were infinity years old, I'd still be infinity plus one.

"I thought I was the sophisticated one. I was looking down on Lana for trading in her dignity. But she... all the others have found something to do with themselves. Something worth doing. All I do is go out clubbing, then come back home to read... I can't even call them the classics. I know better. They're just...centuries old pop fiction."
"You call yourself some kind of goddess and you know nothing, madam, nothing. What don't die can't live. What don't live can't change. What don't change can't learn. The smallest creature that dies in the grass knows more than you. You're right. I'm older. You've lived longer than me, but I'm older than you. And better 'n' you. And madam, that ain't hard."

You change constantly, as is your nature. And you change hardly at all, because your deaths are so long postponed. You know that you are endowed with souls. You rarely grasp the doubts and sorrows that brevity and uncertainty grant the rest of us. You can be glacially slow, because you live with an abundance of time. Yet you can be impetuous and careless, because error and consequence seem transitory. You expect to outlive them. When you imagine the far future, you imagine your individual selves in it. You know you will be there. And some of you think that gives you ownership over it.
